And also, people are really spoiled with existing internet speeds. When I joined the Internet it was still relying on telephone modems for much of the connectivity. There's plenty you can do with that. The Fediverse, right here, is an example - just ordinary text communication.

Yeah, that's a fair point, I'm just wary of sinking time into using a project with a single developer, a hazy future and no way of reporting issues. I don't blame them for not providing that level of support, of course, but I'd rather stick to projects that are more mature or have more resources behind them.

Edit: I see there's actually been a number of different contributors, but based on the tone of the announcement in Dec, I just don't think it's something I would want to rely on

I guess there are other people contributing still, but the github page is just a mirror, issues can't be reported there or anything.

It must be good crap (technical term) ;-)

Doubling this question. With such a price, it could only kill my bank account :)

Cause it is manually assembled. They have a blueprint if you want to do it yourself at a much lower price.
