This comment thread highlights an issue that Nix has...some people love it personally, some love it professionally. Some are software engineers, others are hackers.

Most of the comments here seem to be from people using NixOS on a laptop. NixOS as a production OS in the cloud or on a robot is a game changer.

In a world of LLMs and agentic coding, I think documentation is less important.

You are using your own equipment, right? Thats the point of this post....their equipment doesn't support their service speeds, you have to use your own.

You are probably right about cheap equipment and incompetence, but isn't it still fraud if they sell you something that they knowingly can't offer?

If I rent a car and pay extra for a 4WD, but the 4WD doesn't work, I want my money back. Is this different?

Its one thing if their service is unreliable, but another when the hardware they rent us doesn't even support the service speeds they sell us.

Class action?
