The bidding process is easily rigged. See redlining.

Wholesale Internet bandwidth can be had for $0.05 per Mbps per month. You can transfer about 320 GB in a month. In other words, what you pay for a GB from the cloud costs about what you'd pay for a Mbps in a well connected datacenter.

In a CATV network, possibly. In a new FTTH network, not likely. Engineering a non-blocking 1 Gbps network isn't particularly hard or expensive using FTTH.

The OP is on a brand new FTTH network. There aren't going to be many bottlenecks and any bottlenecks can be cured by inserting a new line card. And, as I wrote before, in no real life scenario will all 100% of subscriber be running the

60 miles isn't that far. If you can get some dark fiber you can go the full distance with one hop using off the shelf optics. Not that you are particularly hard up for connectivity. Fort Collins is on the old Level3 network so you shou

Amazon bandwidth pricing is wildly overinflated, so that's not a useful metric to use as a comparison to wholesale bandwidth costs. At scale means purchasing bandwidth in quantities of 100G. You'd be surprised how straightforward

Nope. Subscribers average 2-4 Mbps during primetime, less averaged over the course of a whole month. Netflix is only about 30% of all Internet bits, and there's a limit to how much Netflix and chill anybody can do.

Scaleway’s data centers are in Europe :) Even Comcast will be able to beat that.

10 Gbps connectivity is on the smaller side for a Netflix appliance. They won’t even talk to you unless you are doing 5 Gbps of traffic from them. A more realistic plan is to have the muni ISP peer with Netflix at the closest IX and take it

The days of $10/Mbps are fortunately behind us. You can get bandwidth for 10c/Mbps or less. Also a day of 300 Mbps would not have cost you thousands of dollars as you get 36 hours for “free” when using 95th percentile billing.

Depends on the market. Some regulators enforce minimum performance levels even for consumer connections.

I doubt the municipality will have much luck either. CDN operators and OTT providers have fairly high traffic requirements before they will qualify you for an on-net appliance. Netflix, for example, requires a minimum of 5 Gbps of traffic u

Sure. A wholesale Internet connection that allows resale usually goes for a few thousand dollars per month.

While true in general, the cost of unoversubscribed wholesale bandwidth is rapidly approaching the cost of oversubscribed retail bandwidth. Wholesale bandwidth is 5 cents per Mbps or less at scale. Not that the ISP pays for all bandwidth, p

Ignoring everything else, this will add a lot of latency, unless OP is located close to Scaleway’s DC.

This is most likely against the terms of service of the Internet provider.

AFAIK you cannot self host a CDN node for any of the services mentioned above. You might be able to self host an Apple cache.

This is effectively what you are already doing. The guaranteed bandwidth just isn’t explicitly defined.

The effort to do this exceeds the potential income.

Adding to what wmf said, JunOS is based on BSD and JunoOS evolved will be based on Linux. Most network equipment run their control plane using standard Intel CPUs, so running Linux isn't much of a strech.

Cumulus requires a license to run on whitebox hardware. Sonic doesn't.

As I've written earlier, what’s the point of rationing something that costs a hundredth of a cent per GB? You get 10TB of bandwidth for a dollar. Once average usage per subscriber goes over that, then we can talk. A $50 router will tel

As others have noted, the problems are with specific ISPs and their underdimensioned last mile network and/or backhaul. A modern submarine cable, like Google's new Dunant transantlantic cable, has 250 Tbps of bandwidth. For refere

No they don’t. Technological advances make copper and radio carry more bandwidth OVER SHORTER DISTANCES. This is why WISP are deploying micro POPs and cellular carriers are deploying small cells. This is a huge difference compared to fiber

Do you have any reason to believe that all those that qualify haven’t applied?

by iptrans 7y ago
It’s not so simplistic. It may make perfectly good sense to pull out copper and push in fiber. It costs money to run and maintain a copper network. Fiber networks are less costly to operate and maintain. In a rational world copper would be
