Hello Nick,

I am quite sure this website will help you out, but you do need a pretty high budget in order to start a ISP.

I've actually researched this a little bit, and high-bandwidth lines are expensive to get your hands on and maintain.

 

Okay,

What about becoming a Reseller?

 

Dont think that is needed. But im not sure.

 

I was simply asking if there are any cheap''starter' companys out there

 

Try searching for VISP solutions.

 

a) where are you?
b) what services do you want to offer? dial? dsl? wireless? hosting?
c) what will you offer that makes you any better than anyone else in your community? Why would anyone switch? Apart from "I'll sell it for less", that is..

and of course,

d) how much money do you have

I have owned 2 faily decent sized ISPs (both dialup based) - we did do some DSL and wireless, but I can honestly tell you that dialup is about dead, yes there are some places that are stuck with it, but to compete with the big boys takes money. There was a place I think called ikano or something like that that offers resell services, but I would think twice before getting into an ISP business these days.

 

a) where are you? Engliand
b) what services do you want to offer? dial? dsl? wireless? hosting? Would offer DSL, and Hosting
c) what will you offer that makes you any better than anyone else in your community? Why would anyone switch? Apart from "I'll sell it for less", that is.. Better customour support, cheaper, easyer to use.

and of course,

d) how much money do you have - I atualy have alot of money to spare to do it, I am not afraid of losing money..
