I get that. But at the same time, when shit does go wrong, it’s so much harder to work around their whole system when it’s so unfamiliar. I’m not speaking from experience with unraid. Just other NAS solutions (TrueNAS) and other “easy mode” options from other tech. I almost always end up tossing it out for the less hand-holing option. Because then I have to understand it, and if I understand it, it becomes so much easier.

I’m not super familiar with fiber. There’s no modem or anything needed? Don’t they still track data usage? Are they able to do that without any intermediate equipment?

Care to explain what you mean? Are you saying you can run fiber in your house? Doesn’t that still require some form of equipment from an ISP to actually go out to the internet?

You seem like the kinda guy who could see someone invent a machine that cures cancer, but you’d still complain because it can’t suck your dick
