You gave me a lot of motivation to sell broadband as well. For about 6 years now I've really been into computer networking and wanted to start my own ISP. Thank you so much. Where I'm at there's a valley with decent broadband and soon to be gigabit fiber with many people on a large hill only having access to one very poor fixed wireless provider. I know someone who lives up there and I am just blown away how unreliable their connection is. Maybe one day after college I can start my business.

@@RyanKimber Late but better than never. Trying to start a WISP? Join us on Reddit r/wisp

[@nahventure3873]

Hey Alex! WISP here, I see you're using an ER-4. I was thinking of picking one up since I had maxed out the ER-X we had, ended up with a Mikrotik RB4011. Most noticeable feature I miss is DPI which you may or may not be using. We're more of a traditional network, as in, we have actual 20-30m towers since the houses here in Argentina are for the most part only one story tall and surrounded by trees. We're currently playing around with Rocket 5ac's and LAP-GPS/LAP-120's. Later on we'll probably move over to rockets with RF asym horns. I actually started about a year ago, partly motivated by you, and partly motivated by having a 48 port switch with only 6 ports used and having a gigabit for practically nothing useful. Great choice on the Netonix! We use a 8 port version w/o SFP but it's a champ. It suffered from a 3.3v cap issue known to the brand thus got it for next to nothing. I also had an Edgeswitch but wasn't too happy since it was pretty much only L2 capable, L3 Lite or whatever it is called for the other features. The netonix has pretty neat QOS which I was using before, now with the Tik' we can do quite the bit of queuing on router itself without much of a headache. The ER-X was choking on netflow and QOS, only downside to the tik is that there is no FQ_Codel. Our stock is pretty limited due to our location. LBE-5AC-GEN2's are costing us nowhere near what they should be (in a bad way). We've played with mimosa as well. If anyone has any questions regarding WISPs, I've done everything myself besides actual tower work. We're a "NATTed" WISP since we can't get our hands on too many IPv4's and nothing IPv6 currently. We're hoping to switch providers and get at least a /48 of v6. Oh yeah, we also offer in-house DNS. Both "ad block" (with pihole and a large list of whitelisted domains to aid with stuff like twitter links breaking) and regular DNS. Everything is pretty nice and fast! We're "fighting" in an area where there are already multiple providers and fiber in place, so we have it pretty tough but we're expanding soon :)

That is something that could happen, companies like Virgin media, Opeanreach and Cityfibre are currently spending billions on upgrading and expanding the FTTH network, there is also the mobile phone companies who are also spending lots on improving 4G and 5G signals, so they can offer home Internet over mobile signals, and finally there could also be the possibility of ultra fast satellite Internet with companies like spaceX. So what Alex does is just another option, which is similar to what the mobile networks are doing, but on a smaller scale.

Few questions if i may, are each of your customers on their own VLAN? Is the ubnt wireless gear setup at layer 2 or layer 3? Do you offer IPv6? Are you using BGP to router those public addresses? I appreciate some of the questions aren't straight yes-no answers and thank you for your time.

[@jamiepateman1494]

Hi mate, I would guess IPV4 as managed ISP's like his (Virgin Media) would provide the leased line with a static IPV4 subnet at the end of it which I am guessing he probably has been assigned either a /24 or /25. My question is where is the resiliency? Looks like the UBNT router he is using would act as the Core layer in his network but normally you would have A Core-R1 and Core-R2 in any medium network that would run BGP or any other Dynamic routing protocols. In regards to your layer 2 or Layer 3 question it's over that it support Layer 2/Layer as the UBNT router will use VLSM to subnet his static public subnet from the ISP into small /32 or /30 networks for each of his customers based on there needs as a user.

How to take your ISP to the next level? Become a LIR at RIPE. Get IPv6 space and buy IPv4 space on the secondary market via a prefix broker. Get two proper routers that talk BGP (Juniper MX204 for example). Now install these in routers in a data center near your house. Get two ISPs to sell you IP transit. Make them compete in pricing. Convert your leased line to dark fiber. Now you can provide 10Gbps to 100gbps internet to your 'hub' on your own IP space. Look for high buildings that are already 'on net' for your local fiber providers. Get dark fiber to there and expand your footprint like that. If you need help with that, feel free to reach out.

[@WOOTTboy123]

WhiteDitto_ it’s less so how much they’d generate as there’s not lots of equipment there, it’s how the components cope due to lofts far exceeding 40° or even 50° Celsius so the components struggle to cool down if needed otherwise why would they have fans.

Could have a spare Edgerouter 4 sitting on a shelf. $200 USD. Same router that runs my home network, and I may or may not also sell internet...

[@ssamjh]

I run an ER-4 for my home network too! Rock-solid devices! Recently upgraded from my ER-X because I got 1Gb/s home internet.

[@bkoldy]

what about redundancy ? Maybe a power Pod? so you can swap out the UPS batteries or unit while the rest of the unit stays online with city power?

Fantastic Alex, your doing pretty much exactly what I would be doing if I didnt have chronic illness.

1gbit monthly cost in Lithuania is like 15€ and almost every building can get 1gbit :D

[@Toxivity]

Damn, really? Here in the U.S. it's a $100 minimum to get 1Gbps speeds which personally I didn't consider expensive but €15 is insanely inexpensive!

1gig in the US is around 60$ a month, I usually get around 950mb down and 1000mb up Edit: this is with AT&T u-verse, I have a fiber line coming into my house

@@aashmediaproductions2799 with uncapped data usage too? What state are you in? I use Cox here in Nevada and used to in AZ too which is the only company to work best in both states and they charge $100/month for 1Gbps speeds but damn that's cool!

I’m from South Africa 🇿🇦. Where I’m from people do not have Internet. I wanna start this business. But my problem some of the equipment you mentioned are Super expensive. Can you please list the equipment I need just like when you started. Hope this finds u well.

[@jalis812]

Google instead...

[@kscube6236]

There’s just sooo many devices on google I kinda fail to understand which one is good for starting out. Atleast if i can first Serve 10 houses than escalate that would be the best start

5:40 advertising squarespace how he is using their services to build his website while on his real website it says "powered by Black Poncho", which is a web design company. :DDDDDD funny. Advertising a service and claiming you use it and it is nice but in truth you are not even using it. (ps: i dont care, i like ur videos, i just wanted to get this out)

so an ISP without a web site? right!

[@school_education242]

i wanna ask you something : what about the License of selling internet ? you are using a sector antenna and you have to buy/rent frequency to serve your services as operators do !

[@TheStex21]

It's exactly the same thing that was in my mind. Telco operators spent Milions of pounds/euros to buy licenses to be services provider and to buy frequences and he start to sell Internet without asking any permission? Intersting.......
