 He certainly is proud of himself!

And rightly so. From visits to the BB photo forum, you can see his total enthusium for networking/equipment. It is good to see someone D.I.Y. and Oxygen is showing what time, studying, and effort can result in. Keep it up!

Everything was fine until I got to this part of the article:

Q: What is the average cost to you?
A: I prefer not to discuss prices, sorry.

Let's get real here, price was my biggest curiosity in this article and he prefers not to discuss it.

No joke. Made a total ass of himself on that one...

SO what if he doesn't want to discuss it? It is HIS company, and he has the right to do anything he pleases with it. Do you want to spend all day working outside, digging those pipes and installing those nodes? You two need to get it straight.

If he doesn't talk price, then that makes him just as bad as Comcast and all the other big companies. He didn't have to talk specifically about what his expenses were, but the least he could have done is state what he's charging people in his neighborhood for his service. Sure it's his company and he can do as he pleases, but anyone who sets up their own ISP who doesn't talk price, will surely lose my interest in his company and me as a potential customer. You're the one who needs to get his head out of his a**.

I am always up for a good discussion, but when you tell me to take my head out of my ass, it ends there.

What is the relevance of this??

The only viable reason I can think of that he refuses to discuss price in any sort of public forum is that he's changing it on a per customer basis.

Doesn't like the look on your face? You pay double. You're black? you pay triple. You're a young person? you pay quadruple.

Yeah, great reason not to discuss price. Honestly, though, I can't think of any legitimate reason for him not to want to talk about his own expenses and prices.

Hey hey, relax there big guy...

Your in Florida, did you forget that? You have nothing to worry about the price or how your face looks, you have Bellsouth, remember?

And please dont assume things, dont tell me how to run my ISP...

I really appreciate all the positive things others said, but like they say, there are a couple of rotten apples among us --- angrychair being one of them.

Do you want me to IM you the plans he is offering? You need to get your act together before you start throwing the crap around the forums!

Sorry that the sarcasm missed you guys.

I'm not saying that my statements have any reality on the situation, they're just 'no good reasons' for not posting anything about costs and prices.

I know everyone wants to get rich as quick as possible, but if you're trying to come across as the good guy in the world of broad band, there's nothing wrong with discussing your finances as they'd be a boon in people's efforts for similar projects elsewhere... (ie, at least they'd have an idea of what kind of money would be needed)

And no, I'm not at all interested in getting private messages revealing the information. If it's not totally public, it's really not worth my time.

I wish I could change that original post of mine. While it is nice to see someone have a heart felt interest in something...while it is nice to experiment with networking, I'm also a realist and tech in the high speed data field. I know how much bandwidth costs and see disconnect company circuits every day due to non-payment with due credit of hundreds of thousands of dollars in bandwidth charges. Then comes the local loop charge...

I say keep on truckin' with your interest, but I can't see it as any more than that.
