I envy your 10Mbit link. I'm stuck at 3Mbit (down) and a 1/10th of that up.

Been off grid, PVs, batteries, and a Trace inverter, since about 1990. Being in upstate NY I have a gas genny for backup/emergency and it's true that lately I've burned some dead dinosaurs during the short cloudy days. My wind genny is offline, alas, with a busted governor. It's a project... Water is from from a nearby spring, clean and tasty, plenty of it year around.

The power company can go down and I don't know it until a friend calls my cell to see how I'm doing (A: "Fine! And you?")

There's drawbacks, but overall it's a big win.

And I believe there's more of us than anybody knows or admits.
