Creating my own ISP
This discussion has been closed.

But... the dude has already spent his entire budget.... on IPs. He can't back off now.
Thread has quite a bit of good feedback I take the positive with the negative. On the up up though a few knowledgeable people from this community has reached out to me and helped clear a lot of my questions and for that I'm grateful and well on my way.
With that being said I've requested the thread be closed due to most of my questions being answered.
Thanks all!
You can always HODL the IPs and sell them in few years. The price is only going to go up.
Good luck!
one of those thread created by someone who are just honestly asking for advise, if you don't/can't contribute why don't you just STFU. Thread title is interesting so I clicked, then ofc I have to read a couple of douche response just to get the gist.
Congats on taking the first step to being an ISP!
You have a long way forward before you start selling major transit contracts, but that's okay, start small, slowly build up.
You need to have a very strong understanding of BGP. You also should peer as much as you can, this will allow you to sell transit for cheaper and also have the added benefit of lowing your hop count to local destinations.
Your next step is to get your MX setup nice and stable and be very confident in setting up customer links.
I'd recommend 2x upstreams as a minimum to to mitigate any network downtime.
HE.Net is a good starting point for having as your backup transit.
Hope this helps.
