  • Many people complain about their internet service, but Brandt Kuykendall did something about it. A resident of the small town of Dillon Beach, CA, he found the service to his town was too slow and expensive - so he started a DIY ISP in his garage. Subscribe: freeth.ink/youtube-subscribe-...
    It took Brandt months chasing down companies to get access to internet infrastructure, but once he started Dillon Beach Internet his neighbors were clamoring for access to his faster, cheaper, and better-serviced network.
    What do you think? Would you be interested in starting an ISP? WISP setup (that's wireless ISP setup for you newbies) may be easier than you think. Could it save the internet amidst the net neutrality debate? Let us know your thoughts in the comments and remember to check out our other DIY science videos.

    Yes, he is a reseller but he genuinely is providing internet to this remote area. No one else took the time and money to do this. He hunted down a source of wifi and did the research to do this. That's definitely more than what most people would do. He's a hero in that little town for better connecting them to the rest of the world.

      It is not quite like AT&T fibre as he is most likely getting a business or commercial grade fibre. This means end to end, and typically a dedicated line not shared with anyone else. Commercial and Residential grade internet connections are very different, especially in price! P2P Fibe is very expensive and can cost upwards of $20,000-$40,000. He's also made a reliable WiFi network that covers ~10 KM (4 Miles?) which is pretty impressive. Granted there were few obstructions, and connections seemed to be line of sight, which are ideal conditions for a long range wireless network. @@jaggsta

    • @Kamel419

      ​@@jaggsta With AT&T connecting fiber to residential neighborhoods I can see why you would see it that way but what this man did is legitimately make an ISP, I'll explain.
      Every single ISP has what's known as a POP or Point of Presence. That is what inter-connects ISP's (It's not uncommon to have multiple POPs to multiple providers). This, collectively, is what makes up the entire Internet. I can tell you what he had installed was not a residential, or even commercial connection, but a legitimate POP based on the equipment.
      The cost for this is astronomical, he must be quite well off. Last I looked into it, the cost of installation was a base cost of several thousand dollars, then about $1k per cable mile (cable distance is much further than direct distance due to having to follow specific utility paths). That's only for the installation, once that's finished the cost of the service itself is typically over $1k/mo depending on the SLA (service level agreement - aka how long between it's broke and it's working again) and whether it is self managed and managed by the ISP. This is typically also accompanied with a legitimate contract which will likely have a span of 3-5 years. The longer the term, the better the deal but once it's up a new one is negotiated. The groups who handle these types of connections are completely separate from the ones who handle residential and commercial accounts.

      Yeah, technically, this was pretty much the norm for underserved areas in the early days. In the days before satellite and national channels, it would be done by someone picking up local television stations in a spotty area and wiring people up to their centralised antenna with good reception. There was a lot of trial and error and ingenuity going into the concept. By 1981, it was not even novel, and the cable television industry was maturing and being corporatised.

    done the same in the mid 90s in Poland. Got H-DSL 768kbps symmetrical line installed into my house, hooked up my neighbours
    to a FastEthernet hub (yes hub, switches were far too expensive at that time), and installed Linux on a PC, acting as a router...
    back then we had superior internet connection, most people were using 14.4k Dial-Up connections...
    Operating this small "ISP" was an excellent opportunity to learn Linux, i started offering various services on the Internet, like HTTP, SMTP, FTP etc. and was selling
    them to enterprises (with profit).. i have bulilt a solid background to become an engineer in the future, i am now working as a network architect for Tier-1 ISP and this would never happen if i did not start this small ISP initiative back then.. .once again... great job Brandt!! and all the best in your future endeavours!!! :)

    This is what was happening in Romania early 2000's when in Bucharest, a city of about 2 mil people, there were suddenly like 20 small internet service providers operating from what we call "drying rooms" in the apartment blocks. I personally installed racks and Linux routers like three a week. By 2007 we had around 200 ISP's in the entire city and the prices went from absolutely enormous to about 3 dollars for 100mbps. Which was more than affordable in an under developed country like Romania. Big ISP's had no chance and they started to buy one by one these ISP's but the damage was done. The prices dropped so high that even now, I have in my home in Bucharest a gigabit internet line for about 12$ oe 13$. Romania is on the 4th place in a list of countries with the biggest broadband connectivity in regards to prices.
    The story of Brand is great but in my city that was common thing.

      No.
      Governments need to kick these companies in the ass and allow cities and state governments to take over. Companies' CEOs aren't chosen by voters, so if they create a duopoly or oligopoly, no one can stop them. If anyone tries to create their own ISP, they sue or outprice them until they're out of business, then go back to high prices. But that's capitalism, can't interfere!!!
      Once cities (like NY- NYC, Tennessee- Chattanooga, and California- SoCal) start making their own, the prices will drop and quality will skyrocket. It's a cartel system in the U.S. right now and it's a market failure. It needs to change.

Ir all it cost was 50K then the carrier wouldve done the job itself and sell to customers for a premium. Obviously its too much of a hassle hence the carrier didnt do it.

      enticed2zeitgeist Dillon beach is not a very remote community to be honest. It has a giant tourism industry and it’s very close to Marin Sonoma county and the Bay Area. For it to have shitty internet it’s actually an issue because people spend millions on real estate and then realize they can’t work from home, in a world where everything revolves around the web you need internet to keep and maintain your job and other important aspects of life in general situations

      I am also guessing that this video was urged into creation by said ISP, they are basically utilizing private property (peoples homes) to become an eyesore microwave emitter to spread their network further and cheaper than possible if they actually had to build new infrastructure. They do this by picking one man, selling him on the idea of being king of the "startup ISP" in his area, and all he has to do is light his immediate surroundings up like a christmas tree 24/7 and turn his garage into a control room, making sure to enrich the ISP at the expense of his family and neighbors, while he receives a tiny cut of the profits and gets a neat video made about his "ingenuity"
      now they dont have to deal with pesky laws and can easily get around the "fortune 500 companies shouldnt be able to set up gigantic antennae/dishs in peoples yards/neighborhods/roofs" laws... because.. because its a genius private startup ISP! not the billion dollar conglomerate ISP!

      100% correct. I work in Networking, and as soon as I saw this, I started shaking my head. He's just sharing his internet connection with his neighborhood. This is like buying a ton of bread from a big bakery, then selling slices to your friends; it doesn't make you a baker. I bet that everyone is being PATed out of his singular IP address given to him by AT&T. This will get really interesting when someone in the neighborhood starts downloading some illicit material or pirating copyrighted content, and the government and/or copyright holders trace the IP address to this guy and his garage. Unless he's tracking which Private IP addresses he is assigning out to his neighbors and also logging their destination IPs and ports, he may find himself in some hot water.
