[fpc-other] Your thoughts on cloud based server instances?

[Travis Siegel]

Just for reference, a T1 hasn't costed thousands of dollars for more 
than 20 years.  The last time I had one, it was less than 600 a month, 
and that was more than 10 years ago.

Of course, these days, with fiber, and highspeed dsl, a T1 line is 
relatively useless considering the cost and transfer speeds.

I've not priced them recently, so have no idea what it would cost to get 
one, but considering I get 25MBPS from my current provider for less than 
100 bucks, I'm not complaining, since a standard T1 is only 1.54MBPS.
