This is kind of cool, but at the same time, there's gotta be a catch. Beside that, I can't imagine a situation where a residential location might want that. Even if I had a self-hosted data center for my entire family, their friends, and friends of their friends, I still couldn't saturate that bandwidth
Isn't the catch that it's 900 dollars a month?
About 10 years ago, the muni fiber outfit in the town next door lit up 10Gbit fiber for their entire footprint. The price? $900/mo. It's currently $300/mo, and they just turned on 25Gbit across their entire footprint ($1500/mo).
There's probably still a bandwidth cap and it's probably still the same shitty 1tb everyone else gets with overage charges per gigabyte or some shit.
