  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-washington/ https://www.centurylink.com/fiber/plans-and-pricing/seattle-... His wifi backup internet is $40: http://www.gigabitseattle.com/residential-services 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.
