Another Year, Another ISP
I just got the heads up that
my ISP, is shutting down the network that this web server is currently
running on.
If I may rant briefly: I hate the instability of the telecommunications
industry. This will be the second time in a year I’ve had to find a new
ISP because my old one changed their business plan and stopped
providing fixed internet access, and during that time I’ve seen a few
other companies drop off the map completely. At this point it seems
like if you want a stable ISP your only option is to pick one of
the overpriced, functionally crippled plans offered by a
giant corporation like
or Time Warner.
At this point I’m not sure what my best option is going forward. For
the benefit of my friends who have accounts and web sites on this
server I’d like to keep it going rather than switching
to a shared hosting setup. We’ll see.
