I'm curious about what your network connects to in order to access the broader internet.
Do you call up an existing ISP, like Verizon and say you want to set up a peering arrangement, or do you have to purchase a business account with an existing provider and increase the bandwidth you pay for as your own network expands?
That's it exactly. Prior to me, the only service available in the area was Verizon DSL or Cable (40 Down/2 Up).
