I run a micro ISP providing gigabit internet access to around 100 businesses that does around $4.5k a month. It started by accident when I got a connection for myself and then shared it with others. My landlord then expanded and invited me to offer it to more units so I made the platform self serve which means apart from initial install it's pretty hands off. Not enough to live on but good side income while I launch another startup!
- mendelmaleh 5y agovery cool! how much bandwidth do you need to supply a 100 "gigabit" businesses? and how do you get it?
- dsinc 5y agoThanks! The fibre I use to supply them is a gigabit up and down leased line, so the connections I sell are contended. I could go to 10gb but my customers are small businesses so low utilisation in practice, people like having a gigabit capable connection but rarely need it! The average overall utilisation of my customers combined is around 150mbps.
- mendigou 5y agoThis is awesome. I'm not from the US but will move there soon and seeing how the internet connections around the area where my partner lives are absolute c*p, maybe this would be an option? Can I reach out to you somewhere? You can also write to <username> at Gmail.com if you don't want to publish it here.
- dsinc 5y agoI'm actually based in London and only provides this service in a small corner of East London, so sadly can't help!
- Ir0nMan 5y agoHow much did the initial connection for yourself cost?
