I get spammed by them all the time but have so far resisted and stayed with my crappy, slow, and expensive ADSL provider out of principle. But the ADSL provider just raised prices on me AGAIN and it’s ridiculous.

What do I do? Is Google Fiber as invasive as other Google stuff? What if I just use it to tunnel a VPN to a non-Google endpoint?

This is sure annoying. It occurs to me that Comcrap might be available here as an alternative, but that must be as evil as Google. At least the ADSL company is reasonable about privacy, as such companies go.

Thanks for any thoughts.

    Yeah this is very true but I am trying to realign my more personal non business stuff away from all services like that

    Ultimately they will require digital ID. No can do

      Sure! I just mean if you must have a Russian VPN server, you better have it somewhere else as well. Also, practice shows that Sweden or the Netherlands are good destinations for a server. Both are not heavily restricted by sites and don’t care about what you do.
