Awesome, this worked great! Thanks!

Don't worry you'll have plenty more chances to use it. Like tomorrow. Or the day after. Or the day after that, or...

Also let’s say we want to pay. How do we ensure future devs on the team remember to get a license and pay? What does that mean when some person outside our team sends a code fix to our repo? The overhead of all of this simply isn’t worth the cost.

Yep, the price is far too steep, especially when it’s per dev. And it’s not like a unit test framework doesn’t already come with its own assertion library. One internal product I know used FluentAssertions in some tests; it’ll be easier and cheaper to switch it to xUnit asserts than pay this.

Which service?

It’s also nice that if you lose power, their network doesn’t go down. So when we lost power during the storm last month we could still use internet (until my UPS for the router went out.) Obviously if a tree takes out a pole-mounted fiber line it’s a different story.

Some of their engineering folks are on Reddit and when there is a question of “how do I see how much data I use” their response is paraphrased as “why would we even track that?” They just want to make a solid network and make people happy that way.

Service has been good. Fast, reliable, and it’s nice being able to toss around huge files without thinking about it. Or when I got a new Xbox I downloaded a half of terabyte of games without giving it a second thought of data caps.

For gigabit the introductory price was $60/month for us in Redmond; it went to $80/month after a year. There have been two $5/month increases so it’s now $90/month here.
