Just out of curiosity, how much does this all cost?




Too bad he doesn't detail monthly cost. It's likely to be more than $10k/yr.


He basically does detail monthly costs. You're implying it costs him about $833 a month to run.

His gig internet is $80 a month: https://www.centurylink.com/fiber/plans-and-pricing/seattle-...

His wifi backup internet is $40: http://www.gigabitseattle.com/residential-services

He specifically states the setup draws 220 watts at idle and that his electricity costs $0.0974/kWh. So 22024/10000.0974 = 0.514272 per day, or about $15.40 a month at idle.

So around $135 a month.


> 220 watts at idle

yea if it's idle the entire month, which is doubtful. but even if it's not, it's not likely to be too much more than the $135 you calculated. I figured the internet service would have been more, since the rest of us get screwed by our ISPs on costs.


Yeah, $80 for gig internet... I wish :(


WebPass in SF is $60/month for GigE. It's kind of amazing.

No modem, just an Ethernet drop into your home.
