I’ve been reading lately about how [Jared Mauch](https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2021/01/jared-mauch-didnt-have-good-broadband-so-he-built-his-own-fiber-isp/) created his own ISP, but none of the articles seem to mention how that actually connects to the internet… I can’t seem to wrap my head around it. Wouldn’t he have to connect to a “backbone” or something?

As others have said, he paid to run to run fiber, but there are other ways. Wireless ISPs (WISPS) will set up microwave backhauls from a place where there is good connectivity and create a routed set of tower sites to bring the connection in and distribute it through access points mounted on towers.
