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.

That's when you start the cycle over again. It's a never ending battle.
