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?

He paid to have several miles of fiber cables installed to connect him to where an internet connection *was* available. He wasn’t able to get good internet before because none of the ISPs wanted to bother running that many cables and didn’t care that they could’ve gotten some customers out of it.
