Letting RIOT into your ring ZERO is not a risk I'm willing to take.

It just sits nagging in the back of your mind. So why take the risk.

Welcome to the club my guy. I think many of us have done this for years across many sites!
I'd rather not have my ISP decide which packets are "higher" priority and do this myself.

Hello DANmode,

I'm trying to touch base from a few months back about a post you replied to about a start-up ISP.

I have updated my contact info if you still want to chat.

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?

Re:Ask HN: Who Is Looking for a Cofounder? on Sunday January 14, 2024 @09:59AM (#38990955)
25-year network architect/system admin here.

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.

Looks like Dave V. removed all the websites. I wonder if the guy ever though it'd follow him around like this.

You're famous Dave!

pretty much this. hard pass on signing this nonsense.
wasn't it ultra low interest investments, but very long term? They should have known it wasn't going to stay like that after the crazy 2020 ride. :/
