Hey everyone! 
So I'm a little late with this one, but there is a good reason for that… We have launched
Well, we are calling it “Phase 2” but it is a public launch of Olilo, so it counts, right?
What started as a concept back in April this year has now finally become a reality. In less than five months we have gone from an idea, to bringing on customers in a BETA phase, to building our own network completely from scratch
If it was not for the guys at Olilo working tirelessly around their full time jobs, Olilo would still just be an idea.
What we have managed to achieve in five months most ISPs have not achieved in years, and we are not stopping there. We are working closely with our partners to ensure we stick to our principles, our founding ideology. To get rid of contracts for everyone. To have fair and transparent pricing without the bullshit price hikes, the bullshit small print, and all the other bullshit that comes with other providers. We have built Olilo fully in the public eye, in complete transparency, and we will continue to do so as Olilo grows.
Over the last week or so, we have been mostly concentrating on getting the website to a position the whole team was happy with. Our brand is important, which is why we have registered it as a trademark. Woo!
We have also been speaking to potential partners directly, sharing our vision and our principles and seeing if they share those same values. We are happy to say most talks have gone really well. These altnets have fully embraced our "new way" of doing things (we call it the right way) but there have been a couple that do not understand the vision. They believe if we are not knocking on doors or selling a mass market product that we do not fit in…
We will announce new partnerships as and when we can. Olilo in more areas has got to be a good thing, right?!
Work continues on OliloOS and we are getting ever closer to getting our hands dirty and testing along with our fellow founders.
We are still awaiting our connection with one of our Tier 1 carriers to go live (not naming any names GTT). The cable is in, patched at our end, but it appears the port they had assigned to us was in use and it is taking them several weeks to send an email to Telehouse to ask them to swap. We will keep pushing to get that completed and that will expand our capacity even more.
DHCP has been in use for over a week and I think it is safe to say it has been a perfect migration
We have not had a single DHCP related issue. I think we can call that a migration done right.
So, I think this pretty much brings us to a close on our weekly “how to start an ISP” update. No new posts for a while, but we will keep sharing anything we feel you might want to see.
Thank you roll call
I personally want to thank each and every customer that signed up to Olilo at the very start, who trusted us when they had no reason to, to build a better ISP, to start making changes to the industry to make it fair and bullshit free
I also want to thank Aydan, my right hand man. From idea to reality, side by side. He is someone I work really well with and, against all my better judgement, someone I would call a friend.
To the rest of the Olilo team… Jaden, JD, Keeks, Ollie and Mark. Thank you
We have all pushed each other to do better, you have all pushed me to be better, and we have built one hell of an ISP.
Cheers for sticking with us
