Roger that.

My ideal is a wide-reaching (like tens of thousands of miles) mesh network of local mesh subnets that voluntarily choose to peer with each other. Until we have that, landline ISPs seem like the least sovereign and optionality-preserving choice. pile onto that the fact that my local ISP routinely goes offline or does "unplanned maintenance", and I can't take the service with me if I leave my house, Starlink (with good e2e encryption, Tor, etc.) seems like the lesser of the evils.

But you can also read this as: "my ISP customer support is so fucking infuriating that I'll take any opportunity I can to tell them to go fuck themselves and move to a competitor" 😆

Local ISPs are brutal for sure.
