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?
