Chris, after starting an ISP[1] in the UK in 2014 I certainly feel you're pain around the difficulties in starting an ISP! Myself and my co-founders have often looked at the comparable easy of growth software based startups and wondered what on earth we were doing, but we soldier on and our looking at our reliable, contracted MRR now is certainly starting to make up for it :) Good luck, I look forward to keeping up with how things are going your side of the Atlantic.

Your prices are amazing. I might leave a post-it with your web address on our office landlord's desk.

> Myself and my co-founders have often looked at the comparable easy growth software based startups and wondered what on earth we were doing ... I've got an answer for that - "You're doing God's work". Sounds silly, sure, but you've decided to tackle a really hard problem that's ultimately much riskier than that which you've mentioned (higher capital, lower profit margins, smaller customer base). But speaking as someone with a lot of experience in communities poorly served for Internet service, it's a life changing thing when broadband suddenly becomes available where it once wasn't (or was so poorly served by one of "The Bigs" that it might as well not have been). I'm only half-joking about God's work. I wouldn't have the stones to consider trying to solve the problem you and Chris are tackling and I greatly respect you for taking that risk. Many thanks, even though I'm not in your country and can't enjoy the service you provide!
