Is an old arm CPU really comparable to a Xeon/epyc?

And home connections are all asymmetric, you may get a gig down but I've not seen anything outside business class with over 50 up.

I am not advocating that people run k3s on raspberry class hardware, just that GP is overpaying for what they are getting. An Ebay server machine colo'd would be several orders of magnitude more capable at the same cost.

My 1G connection sees 250M up and down continuously.
