I think I follow. Top is how I have it set up now, bottom would be how I could do moca?

There’s a utility box on an exterior wall labeled “Television”, which also has a bush planted in front of it. I don’t think I can put my router here… :(

Is it possible to use moca if I have cable internet? There’s coax in my office and living room, so it would be great if I could us them for moca. I know both are connected to the cable coming in to the house because I have set up my modem in both rooms to check which has better wifi coverage.

But it is someone else’s computer, that unlike your computer, is shared by many users and used at nearly 100% capacity. You pay for your whole computer but maybe use 1% of its capacity (that’s generous). So the time to pay off the cost of the hardware should be at least 100x faster with the cloud, and cost of electricity is relatively minor compared to hardware.

The other advantage they have is economies of scale. If you paid $300 for the CPU in your computer, a cloud provider is probably getting similar performance for $100-200 due to buying thousands of units.

I just love the d in Montana. Shame it missed it.
