Hello,

Just wondering if anyone has any intel on these guys: Faro Internet? Mostly wondering whose network they're using?

I'm looking past the copious use of GenAI on their website and their link to a consulting firm because they have some very good 'sale' pricing at the moment...

Major AI overkill on their main business site............

Looks like pretty much a one man band.

I'd be querying their support if anything was to go wrong.

Their pricing isn't anything fantastic unless I missed something. $104 for 900/400...sorry, "920/500".

The 4000/4000 and 2000/2000 pricing is suspiciously sharp. But. The more I look at it the less comfortable I am - their "NZ Based Cloud Storage" (which they bundle but I certainly don't want) is NextCloud - is that running on somebody's homelab???

Traceroute to their website looks like it goes via devoli. address checker seems broken but i wonder if they don't do enable?

IP for the website in the traceroute above points to https://btit.nz/ which talks about Faro as well

It looks like a real business There are lots of details available if you look for them.

As for other feedback, I have no experience but it looks legit albeit small.
