Man who built ISP instead of paying Comcast expands to hundreds of homes (2022)


Jared Mauch gets $2.6 million from gov’t to expand fiber ISP in rural Michigan.

Unlike many larger ISPs, Mauch provides simple bills that contain a single line item for Internet service and no extra fees. Mauch also committed to participate in the Federal Communications Commission's Affordable Connectivity Program, which provides subsidies of $30 a month for households that meet income eligibility requirements. He had previously spent $8,000 on a directional drill machine that installs cables or conduits under driveways and roads without digging giant holes.
