dsinc··on Ask HN: Those making $500/month on side projects in 2021 – Show and tell
I'm actually based in London and only provides this service in a small corner of East London, so sadly can't help!

Thanks! The fibre I use to supply them is a gigabit up and down leased line, so the connections I sell are contended. I could go to 10gb but my customers are small businesses so low utilisation in practice, people like having a gigabit capable connection but rarely need it! The average overall utilisation of my customers combined is around 150mbps.

I run a micro ISP providing gigabit internet access to around 100 businesses that does around $4.5k a month. It started by accident when I got a connection for myself and then shared it with others. My landlord then expanded and invited me to offer it to more units so I made the platform self serve which means apart from initial install it's pretty hands off. Not enough to live on but good side income while I launch another startup!
