    Good luck getting an ISP to let you push your pipe though. We have 200Mbps on Spectrum but man even downloading 1.2xGB backups to my PC is a pain in the rear.

      I didn’t understand with the expression “to let you push your pipe”.

      Did you even read how Guifi.net network work?

      There are internet nodes (they manage exit nodes to internet) and there are internal nodes which are connected to other internal nodes or internet nodes.

      The installation is separated and to be able to put your own wire in the street you only need to ask to your neighboors in most cases or use a parabolic antenna configured as wireless AP to the secondary routers to repeat the signal to other building which also build a similar infraestructure as receiver.

      Away from that, here is a right in several companies to be able to replace your main router even in Optic Fiber infraestructure. (You don’t need this for Guifi.net though)
