    Homelabber here, stuck in Comcast hell with 10Mbps upload.

    I wish I could afford to bring the local municipal fiber to my house, but to go like 2 city blocks with it would be tens of thousands of dollars. :(

    I’m considering a local colocation/ datacenter to move my homelab to. But then it wouldn’t be a homelab anymore

        Would need to convince a local business down there to support it, but it’s not a terrible idea.

        But it is a terrible situation that this is the length people need to go to to work around Comcast / DOCSIS lopsided networking.

      How much is Comcast charging you compared to the fiber? If I were in that position I would have decided differently (assuming I owned the property) as the difference for me peaked at $150/mo. Even more if I chose a slightly cheaper plan…and I have AT%T fiber, not municipal.
