Thank you so much for watching my videos! - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
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.
“Core” Jesus Christ.
Keeping it “super” simple so that those who don’t understand networking think they’re an ISP 🤣
When that one router fails and he has to get a new one instead of just switching to router 2
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!
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.
A UPS and a grid connection is still slightly redundant, Even if limited. Since you have 2 sources of power.
@@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.
@@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.
@@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.
@@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.
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.
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.
@@TheSmiddy Ah ok, in Australia reporting requirements are more extensive then.
@@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.
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.
I’d invest in a proper enterprise grade UPS instead of a small consumer grade one.
But at the same time...it clearly works fine...so why fix it. I have some of these with perfect operation other than when batteries die
@@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.
@@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.
@@mrmotofy Home base UPS are designed with lower caps, and designed to run hot. They are truly only meant for a shut down situation. Where commercial UPS's can be designed to run for hours - if sized with the correct batteries. He could get a simple APC 1500 Rack or "floor" style unit that would be designed to run for a more effective time frame.
@@Cpuboye11 Sure may be...they also come with a commercial price tag. Which is very difficult for small businesses to afford, especially for what if scenarios. He's providing residential internet, the lowest tier. NOT critical business operations with required uptime.
How do you go on holiday? Do you have someone that can monitor the architecture when you’re not home?
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).
Those RJ45s at the barn are giving me anxiety
That's just embarrassing. Maintain the twist!!!
like bro how can you call yourself a network tech with terminations like that
This is fascinating, thanks for sharing
Didn't think I would see jordon on a marzbar video 😂
Hey I just came back I had forgotten about you and by seeing this I remembered all what you showed me in 2018/2019.Thank you for all the great memories.Keep up the great work
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?
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.
@@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.
yo Alex, this is the first time I've watched one of your vids since the daily vlogs pretty much and I gotta say, the video quality's still amazing mate good job!
Glad to see two vids in the space of a week bud, hope all is well :)
Team Link
miss this guy! used to watch your vids back in 2018 and forgot about the channel. Glad youtube recommended your vid today!
I love Alex's determination and work ethic. It's so great how he's figured out this niche service and he's providing broadband internet to people who couldn't get it otherwise.
Boy, you have come a long way, I remember your first videos were you setup your home Wifi. Congratulations dude!!!!
This already looks dope 10 seconds in. Glad to see your on the grind Alex!!
I remember watching you years, years, years ago, glad I found you again XD
You have gone very far and got very good at this, keep up the good work. I remember when you could barely could make an Ethernet cable. Glad you are doing well
that's really inspiring Alex, good job mate! Thx for sharing it with us
WHO IN THE ACTUAL WORLD ASKS HIM THESE QUESTIONS 😂
no one, lmaooo
i love the RF elements dishes! good job keeping it clean and tidy in the rf spectrum!
this is great mate. honestly love this even though I never had a clue what you were on about when you were explaining the different pieces of tech
Really admire your work! Great vid alex
Magnificently superb! Congratulations! Your work is very inspiring. Please continue for good.
I’ve been waiting for this for a while
Really love the blacked out gear in that install! Looks incredibly stealth and helps it blend in to the nature around it!
Love this channel! Keep grinding Alex!
Love the hustle
What’s the actually speed of the lease line u use to resell?
I would love to see some config videos - not specifically how your WISP is setup, but how small parts are set up. Explaining settings from point to point unifi setups etc. It would be great to see you share your expert knowledge with others
There pleanty of videos on TH-cam u can check
Alex! Great job and thanks for sharing. Without your vids I’d probably still be on dial up (or at least feel like it)!
You are a legend, and fully appreciated! Thank you!
Cheap consumer UPS over using a 2-3 day backup hybrid solar setup when you got roof space or just get 1-2 prosumer models....
No fire suppression systems... No high airflow fans or AC system it's an attic come on.. ain't even got boards on the insulation...
1 ethernet line to 1 router over fibre and duel routers at least basic redundancy...
Painting heat exposed kit black exposes them to more heat......
You know there are small sins but when you have this many fuckups in a row on gear that makes your baseline income... god...
And yet... so far so good.
Had to go back and see the cameras being spray painted, that's pretty cool
My friend living in a rural area with no fiber would love this!
I love watching videos like this from your channel.
wow keep following from Kenya.......GOOD WORK
Great set up Alex!
That's really interesting! Thank you for showing it!
Love it mate hoping the daily vlogs make a comeback soon
Nice one Alex keep up the good work
Congratulations by the way....good stuff!!!
Cool vid really enjoyed the technical insight
Yeahhh new vlogs!!
Love the networking videos
Best video yet, love your content & wouldn't mind getting into this myself.
Baller as! Spray painting the cameras without covering the front 🤙🏼
I knew these kind of point to point wireless bridges could be used for Small ISP scenarios but I had never considered that you could do this at such a small scale as this. Very cool use of these devices!
Not sure how, but I just saw that your videos are sending people my way. I own and operate an Internet service provider using some similar hardware and I've documented it all so I guess it makes sense, but it never ceases to amaze me the connections TH-cam/social media makes. Never even heard of this channel! Hahaha
Great production quality, man! 😎
his videos sent me to your channel
@rmp5s LOL I've watched his for a few years...then found yours back towards the beginning.
That's friggin amazing!! Cool to see the algorithm actually work. 😆
@@rmp5s it worked better in the beginning when it was all topic based, before Google took over. Now its all biased and programmed essentially
@@mrmotofy 100%
loved the video Alex, very interesting
Super interesting Alex, You said you charge quite a high price for your service, Are you competing with 4G connection routers?
I love watching these types of videos
Nice! Keep it up mate.
I would *seriously* consider upgrading to a commercial grade UPS, not only for runtime, but for reliability reasons. The whole reason I haven’t converted into a carrier is because I don’t want to be responsible for a five nine network.
Also, that poor equipment needs some cooling, have you considered a minisplit or moving it downstairs?
That montage was class when you said speaking of wifi class video 👍
I like rhis kinda stuff now😂 just yesterday i watched youre old video about this
Gotta start somewhere and I don't understand why people always rag on small network startups.
No refund on any of that sprayed gear now or warranty replacements when it goes wrong?
lovely vid mate
Nice video I am hoping to update my equipment soon as I am still running the 1st gen
Wait? Another one! Let’s fucking gooooo!
What's the bandwidth of your leased line?
great video very informative. thank you
Hello love the video mate
With working in IT currently it is a very simple set up! I was thinking about doing something similar before I ended up moving to the city
Awesome inspiring stuff!
You should do a quick overview of how you set up your equipment. Maybe when you add another micro-pop.
Great view btw
Appreciate the vid! pretty cool
i do the same thing in Tembisa,South Africa.U inspired me man
Love your defender mate 😀👍
Great vid!
GOOD JOB. happy folllower from Kenya-Africa
Spray painting the devices black probably not a good idea. In direct sunlight those devices will absorb ALOT of heat and this could potentially lead to shorter device life or them just outright failing due to overheating.
Depends on the paint.... plastic spray paint will be fine
@@sprocket-YT its not the type it's the color, black absorbs hear
u made networking intresting for me its coz of ur channel i use access points around my house
wifi is cool and convenient...but it's very limiting in bandwidth. But it depends on what your needs are. If you're just surfing the internet...no big deal. If you're into gaming or large data transfers a wired network is much better
I am not sure if you just didn't show it but you missing a lot of redundancy in your network, you need backups for everything. And that tiny UPS? cmon
I totally agree... but there is still a catch... financing it... for whole backup core system... I guess he has to buy another enterprise connection and the equipment there...
I'm not a expert in any way... but what I can say is...
add redudancy to a system is a costly matter... and isnt easy to just flip a switch...
I'm sure he is aware that hee needs one... but i guess it is not economically viable yet with the size of his net...
@@Panakotta000 i meant device wise, no need for another line. Just when one of the devices dies there's a backup for it
@@flippy9133 Ah ok... but jeah... probably still quite expensive I assume
I am in San Francisco right now and thinking to create a network from hardware that people install on Taxis to show ADs on Taxis to give people free wifi. Thanks for sharing your journey man!
What kind of $$ are there to be made in free internet? Ads?
Fascinating to see how it works. Wish you supplied up in Cumbria. We use a local wireless internet company and we are supposed to get 20 up and 2.5 down for £50 per month. Can’t use a VOIP phone and struggle with running our business from home and streaming movies catch up etc with it as we rarely get the speeds quoted. Contention ratio is 20:1. Same company just quoted £270/mth for 1:1 uncontended 20/20 supply plus £3k install.
daylight robbery those prices!
Here’s a tip you should think about investing in a device called Eco Delta pro it’s basically a back up battery that can run off solar energy in case the power goes out
Very interesting Alex, what spec is your leased line? Will you have to upgrade if you get more customers?
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.
Cool video and setup, Sorry if you have already answered this but can you tell me more about your UPS and power setup? i'm getting a rack cabinet together myself with a few 4G cons and a landline to run some servers at home, id love to know a bit more about how you run all that cool gear :)
Alex you've grown so much since 2013, back when all u did was hype up set-ups and gaming. Seems as if you and I are doing the same thing them, and now.
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.
Was thinking the same thing.
nice video man
Saludes desde Colombia, muy bueno el video.
At least if there's a fire you have plenty to help it.. You need to put something between them. Fair play to you though mate - I was doing this off a 2 way BT Sat connection in 1995. Nice to see people still doing this
Do love your Vlogs.
About time
I love ur vlogs
Your really inspiring really I'd love to be u with what u got going on with your own selling Wi-Fi it's cool
Oh I’m actually here early for once 😂
Hi Alex, great job! I just have a question. I haven’t seen an Ups at your POP location, are you planning to install it?
One of your more interesting videos
you can modify that cyber power or even get one that is expandable and a much bigger battery, especially if it's lifepo4 and REALLY bump up that run time. mine does 8+ hours so far.
once every 2 years i hop on this channel… wow
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".
Thanks for the tour! What's the reason for not sticking with Ubiquiti for the switch after your EdgeRouter, and the smaller one at the other site? would management of all the radios and associated switches via UNMS not make things easier?
One word, nice 👌
