I have zero issues with Time Warner in  respect with reselling.  I REFUSE to
resell in an area where they or DSL are available because if someone in
that area wants our service because the issue is they  have been SHUTOFF by
another service provider for NON-PAYMENT!  You fail, sorry,  No service.

I stick with that policy like concrete.

We had the flip of that.
We purchase IP transit (bandwidth) on GigE from the local operating
company of a national cable operator.
They were supposed to give us IP space with the circuit but IP
allocations are handled by the national group and they refused on the
grounds that they don't sell to ISPs.
Good thing we have our own IP space.

I have at least 4 business class connections as well as the fiber but just
make sure you have written permission from their sales department or at
least acknowledgement that you are in the business of reselling the access.
Any salesperson will give you that, they just want the sale.  It gets you
around their TOS.

But keep in mind that it's not dedicated, it's already shared access so way
less customers per MB on it.  And your ping times suffer from the get go.

Man, I wish I had a hosting center close. I am trying to get an idea of how
many are actually using wholesale bandwidth compared to DSL/CABLE
connections. Some cable providers actually let you resale their business
class connections. My partner and I were discussing the pro's and con's of
using a Cable business class connection. Money wise, it's a no brainer. I
can get a 10 meg connection for around $100/mth and I am paying a little
over $1000/mth for 6 meg Metro-E at the moment. The problems I see is they
will only give you about 5 public IP's and what would happen if they get
blacklisted/blocked/etc... and how fast will outages be fixed.

I know I have seen posts from many WISPs on afmug and wispa lists that were
using DSL/Cable connections for their sources. I thought this survey might
give an idea of the ratio that are using them.

For the survey, just put Hosting Center in other or group it with the first
option.

Here are the results so far:

1. Who do you use as a backbone provider? By this, a means of transporting
your users data to a medium that eventually connects to the nationwide
backbone.

A national, regional, or local backbone provider that provides T1(DS1) or
NxT1(DS1), DS3 or subset, Metro-E, Fiber, etc.. such as AT&T, Qwest, Sprint,
etc... That provide you with at least a class C of public addresses or you
can use your own.
82.4%   28
Using a competitor's or non-competitor's service such as (business or
home) cable, DSL, FTTH connection, that was meant for a single user account,
and normally assigns less than 5 public IP's to you...(Ignoring usage
policies of your provider).
2.9%1
Other (please specify)
14.7%   5
1.  a local provider AND competitor's or non-competitor's service such
as
(business or home) cable, DSL, FTTH connection that is meant for
multi-residential use.
2.  Two separate Hosting Centers
3.  Local utility company that aggregates ATT Lightcore, Sprint and
UUNET
4.  we are our own provider with our own ip range
5.  Datacenter that has their own fiber where I get a /23


2. If you are using the second answer or other... cable, ftth, or dsl, or
other for backbone you are more than likely providing NAT to all or most of
your customers. What are your plans when your public IP's gets banned,
blacklisted, and CALEA request, etc...?

1.  Contract excludes banned IP's and IP's are forwarded for our
management
including CALEA
2.  The two hosting centers are two different companies and each has
3-10
first tier providers they 'blend' on BGP. We buy at around $12-$20 per Mbps.
We have our own ARIN Public IP's, but the providers handle BGP and we just
take two redundant GigE ethernets to their routers (we use VRRP for
redundancy from there).

Thanks for participating guys.

Re: [WISPA] [Motorola II] Bandwidth Sources.

2010-08-04 Thread Scottie Arnett
Man, I wish I had a hosting center close. I am trying to get an idea of
how many are actually using wholesale bandwidth compared to DSL/CABLE
connections. Some cable providers actually let you resale their business
class connections. My partner and I were discussing the pro's and con's of
using a Cable business class connection. Money wise, it's a no brainer. I
can get a 10 meg connection for around $100/mth and I am paying a little
over $1000/mth for 6 meg Metro-E at the moment. The problems I see is they
will only give you about 5 public IP's and what would happen if they get
blacklisted/blocked/etc... and how fast will outages be fixed.

I know I have seen posts from many WISPs on afmug and wispa lists that
were using DSL/Cable connections for their sources. I thought this survey
might give an idea of the ratio that are using them.
