Worth adding that the average member of the ISP would probably be downloading terabytes of data per month. Not sure which rich forumite will have the money to keep the ISP going.

I used them, they were vile. Seriously, seriously vile.
So vile, in fact, that last I heard they were closed down, if I'm not much mistaken?

I actually read that out with a chinese acscent :/
Oh, Sir Lycan
p) you have a huge group of followers that respect you (and others but not so much) but we leave that for a thread on you for near future ;-)
What if we got google invloved, approached them , whats the thing people take with them, a proposal is it? present them with enough facts that it is indeed sustainable and profits will be obtained over lets say a 10 year period.
This can work but from someone way more knowledgeable than i.
Not to mention we have all sorts of people on the forum that are just itching for their name to be out there....eg HavocXphere ... chief bandwidth technical advisor
but all joking aside. Its not impossible.

I think that instead of a member of mybb try start up and ISP, maybe mybb should start an ISP. They have the resources, they have the connections, they have the support, all they need is the moola wouldn't it be great if mybb started its own ISP?
MyBroadband ISP would be the real deal. Competing against mweb and openweb on uncapped. That would be awesome. Maybe rpm should look into this

Let's also make a car. Reliable (lasts for > 10 years without any major hitches), Looks great (has to look like a super car), Is fast (> 450 BHP) and Is cheap ( ~ R120 000). Life is all about trade-offs

Go to Openweb GOLD on the Altech backbone if you want that. Shaping eases up after 5 though.

What he said.
Also the current market's not conductive to start-ups.
What you can do is to start a virtual ISP, get a good customer base, and once that is going, switch over from a virtual ISP (piggyback on somebody else) to a real ISP (with real hardware etc).

Somebody wake me up from this weird dream

Bells?
I'll be the first to make a thread, I think we can possibly combine it Will? WA vs. MWEB vs. MyBB ISP - then its rep pay back time
Good luck with the venture though guys, it's tough work!

Already there, ladies
PM me when the ISP is up and running, I'll buy the MyBB rep a beer - he'll need it
Which is why I can comfortably say I'd rather be on the giving end than the receiving end :erm:

Looking to start up?

If someone signs up with them and puts the prices mega cheap, I'll certainly buy Maybe this could be non-profit (or at least a "social enterprise").
