Going through this:

https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/2102488-hyper-v-server-windows-defender-yay-or-nay

I skipped that one.

I see, some have never used Hyperv 2016 or prior to that. I have been using it since 2008.

I switched from State Farm to Amica a while back. Haven't looked back.

I'm getting ready to switch from State Farm. They've been jacking my rates up every 6 months for the last 3 years... and I go back down to the local office and fuss, and they fix it again... I'm getting tired of that.

I could handle a $5 raise in price... Costs, go up, I get it. But when you make significant jumps, like $50 (that's a 25% jump in my bill!), I'm not going to let that slide. And that's been the size of the increases the last year.

We added a vehicle and the cost went up 15$. Went to renew this week and it shot up 77$. Going to be looking for a different company.

I have farmers and they have been doing the same thing to me too. I fuss, but it doesn't do any good. They say that it is a state wide increase. I'm considering other options.

Yepp... and then start the process over with the new insurance company. it's so stupid. But I have a fixed budget, and if your price goes outside that budget, guess what happens.

Do they though? I understand inflation - but isn't that the real root of costs going up? Assuming nothing else changes, ie no new features...

Cable is horrible, my rate jumped nearly 50% last year... I finally killed it..
but my internet usage climbed so much I had to upgrade my package for more download.

I blame that on greedy cable companies that put caps on plans.

That only works for so long though...eventually you will run out of other companies to change to.
