My wife did this, about 6 months of digging up roads in central London. Would recommend. AMA.

What kind of research did you do to achieve this? Any workshops or did you talk to other ISPs to gain knowledge?

As a fellow Londerer please please expand on this. Like, why, what were the returns, what'd you peer into?

  • Why - 30mbps download and 0.5mbps upload, it was really the upload that was crippling (think video conferencing)

    What were the returns - time will tell, but I probably have the best internet in London

    What do we peer into - 10Gbps of NTT, two more 1 Gbps full peering sessions, plus the LONAP internet exchange to pick up Google, Netflix, etc. Plus my wife (AS210412) peers with me (AS211289) of course.

How did you meet your wife with an ASN? Asking for a friend...

  • We were interns (software engineers) at Deutsche Bank, and unfortunately she didn’t have an ASN back then.

    Also some bias shows here - surely the question should be ‘how did you meet your wife with multiple 3 ton excavators’.
