> Jio also has its own streaming service, which doesn’t count against your data caps.
How does this work? AFAIK JioCinema uses Akamai for content delivery... do they not count data for traffic from their own hosted edge caches or is it something else?
Yep, I faced this same issue when I bought an M2 Air early March. The 16GB BTO upgrade was roughly 40% more expensive compared to the discounted base 8GB model.
I use DuckDNS for letting Alexa and Google Assistant access my Home Assistant devices.
Not needing to click on a link to “renew” my host name every month is a huge plus.
The biggest issue however is that it doesn’t support CNAMEs so I can’t migrate to a Tailscale Funnel address without redoing the entire setup, since I have a VPS configured to reverse proxy Home Assistant from home, through Tailscale of course.
In my experience, ISPs DNS servers are slower compared to 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1, especially for "complex" lookups where there are as many as 6 CNAMEs in the DNS chain.
Also, they often run a single instance of bind, with little to no load-balancing.
Yep, this is the reason why I'm hesitant to switch ISPs despite crappy service during peak hours. They have PNIs/local CDN hostings/prominent IX peering and good international peering.
