Why don't I start an ISP in my own colony?

This question has been on my mind for last couple of weeks. My colony, Amrapali Society , lies in a tight spot as far as location is concerned. It exactly doesn't come into Kalyani Nagar, where internet connectivity is available from most of the well-known providers. Nor, does it comes into Ramvadi etc where connectivity will probably be present as well.

Even BSNL says that the landline infrastructure in my colony is too old to support broadband and hence they can't provide connectivity there. Hence, unfortunately it lies neglected by most of the providers except Tata Indicom.

Now Indicom is supposed to be providing good connectivity in Kalyani Nagar as well as other areas of Pune. I know a bunch of friends of mine who are satisfied with the service. However, their service in our colony has no words to describe. Pathetic is the closest i can get. I log a complaint with Indicom customer care center almost every alternate day.

Tired with all this, a thought came to my mind that why not I myself start a broadband ISP for my colony itself. I could purchase a commercial connection from Tiger Telecom which I contacted long time before and then distribute it through a wireless network established through Meraki routers.

Dunno what to do with this but the idea sounds pretty convincing to me.

Why I rejected Manas Webhosting

During my search for hosting providers in India, I seriously considered Manashosting.

The offer of unlimited web space and unlimited bandwidth was very attractive. However, surprisingly these folks have all these plans for Windows hosting only! I couldn't believe it at first. Who on earth will host over Windows? Especially startup folks who are generally cash-strapped.

Unfortunately I had to drop my plans to sign up with them since I needed a LAMP stack.

Why I chose ixWebhosting over ipower and rackspace

I've been running Goolti.com out of ipower's servers for quite a while. Although the service is great there are some potential problems with the service.

1) I can't get subdomain level traffic stats.
2) The number of subdomains are restricted.
3) I can't get an email like sales@mydomain.com for all the domains I host over the hosting account. I can get those kind of email addresses only for the domain that I signup with when I buy the account.

I got all these services at ixWebHosting.com hence I am going with them. I just want to document this down here so that someone searching on google for the same reason gets this and this probably helps him out to make a decision.
