Exactly what I was thinking. They are probably going to go with a business model similar to Amazon's Lumberyard
carlospaulino··on How Azure Web Sites Sucked in Production
This is a mistake on your part, because IIS ignores the .htaccess file.

Azure web sites uses a .user.ini file to setup php.

Nice concept, but I think that the huge bitcoin button and the shareaholic widget are very distracting. Also it took me a while to notice the power switch.
carlospaulino··on Internet horror stories: How ISPs screwed over users
Competition does force the provider to give you a better service. But most of the time it’s just that the provider decides to be awful. But that’s not always the case.

About four years ago I used to live in the Bronx, and the only thing in my area was Optimum, and the service was almost as good as now.

It's about the company caring for the customers.

It's true that TWC and Comcast are the worst of all. But I have to disagree, not all providers suck.

In my current town (Clifton, NJ) we can get Verizon FIOS and Optimum. Both providers are fighting fiercely for customers.

I used FIOS for a year and it was great, no caps,full speeds and good support. I later switched to Optimum and it is fantastic, I've never been so happy with a service provider, they upgraded most users from 50mbit to 100mbit for free, and they are actually giving me a true 100mbit connection, not to mention an outstanding customer support.
