Hello Morphle, I tried to email you regarding the post you replied to a good while back about an ISP-related post. It got bounced from the ziggo.nl address. Have an updated contact point?
I have updated my contact info if you still want to chat.
I am disappointed and furious about the progress of our communications industry. ISPs for far too long have been milking the taxpayers and foremost the customers.
During high school, I ran our town's dial-up ISP. This was a high school program to bring internet to our little town, at an affordable non-long-distance price.
My most recent employment was taking a wISP from 1300 customers to 5000 customers in 2.5 years with a staff of less than 10. We had 2 IT wizards, the primary owner and myself. The rest were installers/physical maintenance and 2 secretaries.
I'm looking to found an ISP similar to my previous employer, BUT this is going to be a hybrid tower/fiber model ISP that must operate at the lowest cost to consumers possible.
I have worn so many hats it's time to put them all on at once. I'm just not sure if I can pull this off by myself nor will my savings cover the start-up cost.
Sorry for the rant, and no contact info. I should probably spin up the website/email server for contact points while thinking this over.
It just sits nagging in the back of your mind. So why take the risk.
