25 Gbit/s internet as a normal customer

Dang, that's rough. I'll fully admit I got super lucky. My ISP is MetroNet and you wouldn't necessarily think Lexington, KY would have fiber at all or if they did that it would be a good deal but thankfully MetroNet serves my area and has great prices. I wish they were in OH as well so I could move my parents over to them, they are stuck on Spectrum.

They're in Ohio now in a limited area: https://getmetronetinternet.com/availability/#metronet-ohio

They're expanding aggressively in those areas, too.

That’s great news! Still waiting on Columbus/Dublin but I’ll keep an eye out. Last I checked I don’t think they had anything in OH so this is progress.

Yep, we have Metronet here and it has been pretty great (North of Dayton)

I'm also near Dayton. I should just buckle down and get their service. I don't really want to be behind CGNAT and the $10 / mo fee for a static public IP address seems steep. My friends who are using the service like it, though.

I haven’t encountered any issues with CGNAT, nor has my son, who plays way more Xbox than he should. I use Tailscale when I need to access something at home while out and about, and have considered using cloudflare tunnels for hosting from home.
