Google Fiber is the only decent home ISP around here. What do I do? (lemmy.world)

I get spammed by them all the time but have so far resisted and stayed with my crappy, slow, and expensive ADSL provider out of principle. But the ADSL provider just raised prices on me AGAIN and it's ridiculous.

What do I do? Is Google Fiber as invasive as other Google stuff? What if I just use it to tunnel a VPN to a non-Google endpoint?

This is sure annoying. It occurs to me that Comcrap might be available here as an alternative, but that must be as evil as Google. At least the ADSL company is reasonable about privacy, as such companies go.

Thanks for any thoughts.

Use Pi-hole (pointing to non google dns or unbound) and a vpn

Adguard home is better than pi-hole. Both use the same lists, but adguard has built in support for DNS over HTTPS and TLS, and IMO a better UI.
