There are a lot of reputable VoIP companies, my employer right now uses them and we never faced a problem. But makes sure it is reputable ;)
And you could also port your number so to all effects it is your number.
I don't know, I still believe it is the easiest way forward. But in the end it is your call
That much? Shit, then update the processor, probably spending 15€ is going to update the speed a lot!
Uh?!?
If that equipment is not able to get 60Mb/s there is something terrible wrong here....
What you need is a sip server / interface for making VoIP call through internet, there are many implementations and servers, selfhosted and paid. Pick up one you like.
Please, be aware that the quality of the voice call depends and a lot of the data rate. Keep this in mind uif you are in remote locations with poor coverage.
It is always recommended the asterisk + the freepbx for the gui. Please be aware that I don't have experience with those systems
I think I didn't get exactly what you want. Ant it keeps me wondering that perhaps there are a few concepts not so clear.
Do you want to receive streaming from a server? do you want to setup the server? Or something completely else?
If you want to receive the streaming from a server, the most compatible cost-effective solution is the Amazon fire. Works with remotes and you will be able to play every media you have because the server will transcode the file on the fly if the fire stick doesn't support the format.
If you want something more open to tinker or to get more functionality then a raspberry pi will be enough, because once again, the heavy lifting is done by the servers (via plex server or moonlight server).
More powerful boxes exists but then you need to start thinking carefully what is your use case for not eating money.
This type of posts always reminds me a conversation I had with some friends, where they always claimed that the lack of rules, safety measures and freedom to smoke when I was 6, and all the mentality/concept/vision of the world is now considered really bad, difficult to accept or comprehend for modern mentalities.
And we survived, they always reassesed.
But the point is we didn't, lot of fellas died in the process, alcohol was socially accepted as a way to deal with problems to the point that life-risk jobs were having daily accidents and 99% of them the guy was really alcohol fucked.
But the deads were not there to disagree. It is only survival biases. And a lack of memories about who could not deal with the situations...
I have friends and relatives in all those countries.
Not posible this poll is right without a severe cook in the numbers or the questions....
I have more than 120 electronic identities, impossible to track the counter or to remember the tld of all websites I visit.
The concepts is only useful in a very small and defined scenario.
Honestly I totally disagree, this community is about avoiding SaaS and controlling the important part of the stack to keep your own data under control.
If the service you need is just a provider of vm for your own business, is not a contradiction and it is still selfhosted as long as you control it.
Check it again, I used it for years before switching to something with more features
If you have a prosumer router I suggest you to use the ddns in the router plus a reverse proxy. This would be the cleanest solution.
If you can not, once everything is working with your external access to the synology, the dsm has a built-in reverse proxy so it can redirect http requests to another server. Although this proxy is really simple and limited it can get the work done if you setup is simple enough.

I see, well, it it still serves you good, nothing to say here
