If you do not have access to fast internet And if you are disappointed with the quality of services provided by the big companies in this sector, you can always consider building your own provider in Optical fiber.
Michigan man – like Jared Mauch – He did it: his project came to fruition five years ago, for a good cost 145 thousand dollars. What prompted him to fall back on DIY were unsatisfactory offers from major US Internet companies, such as Comcast And the AT&T. The first, specifically, asked Mauch 50 thousand dollars to extend the fiber to his home, while the second – until 2020 – only continued to provide the connection 1.5 Mbps to downloadvery few to ensure a good browsing experience.
Mauch account – made in lifenetwork engineer – It was certainly huge, but later on he had the opportunity to recoup that money by providing internet to his neighbors.
That’s right: within a few years, the guy extended the service to nearly 70 people/family of the residents of the neighborhood in which he lives, and it is expected that a larger number will arrive soon. Yes, because the US government just offered him a $2.6 million To expand the network to other nearby places.
Mauch owns 14 miles (22 kilometers) of fiber that the network must extend to others 417 titles. In fact, to tell the truth, his estimate is more ambitious: he expects to be able to reach nearly 600 new customers (596) by 2023.
As for the speed, the official data is different from the real data: in theory, Mauch will not be able to provide a faster Internet connection than 500 Mbpsbut in practice, the speed is close to 1 gigabit per second. The explanation is given by itself: “The equipment I chose is cheap and therefore the speed limiters don’t work. If you connect and do a speed test you should get about 900Mbps or something like that”.
