Sorry to hear about your issues. Why did you come back? Specifically to try the cloud? If you are planning to stay with AC, why not go back to a server. It can't have as many hassles as a server.
Just to be clear, it was your IT person who charged $650? How much does he get an hour? Seems like it shouldn't take more than an hour to check Internet speed and network.
What are the hassles of using your own server? Or even P2P?
