As someone that has worked for large telcos my entire life, it always warms my heart seeing backyard shops stand up and succeed where we won’t go based on a rate of return. Keep up the good work dude!

[@MarkHawkinsUK]

Interesting to see you have spray-painted the outside cameras, I have spray painted the indoor dome cameras before but never the outside ones, they get so hot that I wouldn’t trust painting them black and being in the Sun. I also wouldn’t paint a point to point device.

[@brandonw6622]

Keep up the good work! I work at an ISP and one recommendation I have would be to convert your head end and micro pops to DC equipment and use a rectifier to convert your commercial power to DC. The biggest advantage of doing this is you can then have back up batteries that can power your equipment for much longer, days to weeks even if you ever had a major power outage. Since you are a data only provider it may not be that big of a deal but here in the USA if you provide POTS then the FCC requires a certain back up time for the equipment.

A UPS isn't redundancy! We have redundant power, it's two power feeds, entering the building at two different points, fed by two different sub stations. That's redundancy. A USP is a UPS. We have two UPS rooms, that's redundant UPS.

[@MaebhsUrbanity]

A UPS and a grid connection is still slightly redundant, Even if limited. Since you have 2 sources of power.

[@benjones9822]

@@MaebhsUrbanity Nope, that's not how redundancy works. Redundant power would be two sources of power. Redundant UPS means two UPS. That's n+1 and that's what we run. What he's shown has no redundancy at all. There is not more than one of anything. There is not two power supplies. There is one power supply and one UPS (which are usually only used to carry power until a generator is up to speed). There is zero redundancy in his setup.

[@MaebhsUrbanity]

@@benjones9822 It's not total redundancy, It's not a redundant UPS. However, the combined system could be said to have some redundancy in the power supply. Also, they serve a small area In which any blackouts experienced by the rack will probably also affect everyone's access points, and so providing service isn't that necessary.

[@benjones9822]

@@MaebhsUrbanity no, that does not fit the definition of redundancy at all. As I said, there is zero redundancy. Agreed, his customers may lose power if the whole area is affected, but don't claim to have redundancy if there is zero redundancy.

[@shirowalkerfb5134]

@@benjones9822 actually In a way it is redundancy. If he loses power the USP kicks in. May not be the best option, but it still supplies power for limited time till he able to fix issues or power I restored. Hence definition of redundancy. To supply something that not available or in this case power Failure.

[@setecastronomy_hc]

@@mrmotofy It doesn't, that's the problem. It will be fine if power drops out for few minutes, anything more than that and you are screwed. Consumer grade UPS runtime isn't rated at max load, so 40 minutes he mentioned is with something like 30% load.

[@majik11111]

@@mrmotofy Because 40 minutes is an extremely short amount of time. If there would be a serious power issue at his house it could take a technician at least 4 hours to come by and fix it. Sure this UPS is sufficient if the power would switch off for a few minutes, but in other scenarios it wouldn't suffice.

[@Cpuboye11]

Jeez don't you have legal requirements for record keeping, audits, information requests as an ISP in the UK etc. Not trying to bag you out as you've made it really far but it seems like you could have a proper legal problem on your hands.

[@TheSmiddy]

Only records ISPs need to keep are which customer had which IP at which time. If he's giving his customers a static IP it's easy.

[@speardfrog1]

@@TheSmiddy Ah ok, in Australia reporting requirements are more extensive then.

[@Oyashirochama13]

@@speardfrog1 Not sure what an ISP in Aus would see, since most of that information is or can be easily hidden through various methods. The handed out IP is really all that needs to be tracked especially since he has full control over end user devices connection.

[@KnurdMonkey]

Honestly, you should consider some sort of professional solution for your power backup as well as some network redundancy. Ubiquity stuff is great for the cost and you should be able to implement it. Another thing you should consider is a bigger rack, patch panels and a rackmount AC unit. You are selling a service and you should grant a different level of resilience (both network/power).

[@jamiepateman1494]

Good network, however 0 redundancy for being a ISP. You mention you have a edge router, does this act as your network router + DMZ and general firewall in one? Also your core switch, do you have a backup?

[@majik11111]

Yes also my concern. He mentioned he rebuilt the entire network for growing, however it seems to me there are multiple single point of failures and no redundancy. Also the runtime of 40 minutes from that UPS seems a bit on the low side tbh.

[@jamiepateman1494]

@@hariranormal5584 That’s incorrect, I will tell you why. Yes Alex receives an Ethernet circuit from a vendor such as Virgin Media, however if Alex was to direct interconnect the end-user to the Ethernet circuit without any management or wireless infrastructure to support his service then yes that would be reselling. However, Alex just like any other ISP like Talk Talk, Sky, Plusnet and anymore other internet providers utilise Openreach’s infrastructure as their upstream provider, the difference is when you become an ISP you’re segmenting,subnetting and managing smaller networks with your core infrastructure. Ultimately reselling is part of Alex’s business mode, however without his well developed skills and equipment he cannot provide his service.

You should look into buying a bigger battery backup, such as an EG4 5.12kWh battery. They cost 1500$ for each battery module and the server rack that fits 6 modules costs 400-500$ For now you could just buy a replacement battery for your UPS. To switch it from a lead acid to much more energy dense lithium iron phosphate battery.

Almost 100 years ago: Rediffusion was the trading name of Broadcast Relay Service Ltd, formed in 1928. In 1929 the company introduced its first cable radio service in Hull to customers frustrated with the difficulties of tuning in weak radio broadcasts. In the customer premises, nothing more than a selector switch and loudspeaker were needed. Initially, the service consisted primarily of rebroadcasts of the BBC Radio service, which was reflected in the trading name: Rediffusion simply means "broadcasting again".

[@csparty11]

Nice setup Alex!, however i do agree with others. Atleast try to get more redundancy in your "core network" I assume you have some spare equipment in storage if you get a device failure. But what you really want is to make it a hot spare. I also suggest a UPS with more battery power/time atleast for your core network because 40 minutes is way too short. You want to minimize interruptions to your services as much as possible. You could offer a cache/proxy server and maybe a 4G failover on your lease line if possible. Whatever makes your service more reliable.
