Installed Starlink and get 150 to 250 down and 30 up for 65 a month.

At work we had lots of old laptops, poor battery life, small hard drives, etc. I cleaned them up and installed pfsense on them and gave them to colleagues as home firewall/kid web filters. Others we popped xp on them and set up mame / emulator to give to their kids.
1·1 year agoI use these guys. Been using them for a few years on and off and have friends using the service too:
Link is my referral code as it will give you some time free I believe and I get a referral bonus.
I stopped pirating about 10 years ago as it was easier just to pay for the service and stream. Then the providers got greedy; complete segregation of the content not only by platform but also by region. Streaming was no longer easy; you don’t know what platform the show/film is on or if it’s available in your region. So now it back to the high seas for films and TV shows as well as paying for an IP TV service that includes movies and TV on demand as well as live streams.
It all to do with ease of use and accessibility; I mean the music piracy has dropped off a cliff due to Spotify.
Around Black Friday time they have had sales and you get both for a year for around 20€ so the lifetime subscription doesn’t look so much of an attractive deal.
