In this first episode of Bandwidth, co-hosts Rick Seemann, Georgette Lopez-Aguado, Larry Weidig, and Paul Dasbach unpack what gives smaller ISPs a competitive edge in a market dominated by giants. From tighter community ties and real-world agility to a relentless focus on customer experience, the team shares stories and insights drawn from decades in the trenches. They also dive into common missteps small ISPs should avoid when trying to mirror big providers, and explore how mergers, pricing strategies, and operational efficiency play into long-term success. If you’ve ever wondered how local providers can thrive in a landscape of overbuilders and billion-dollar budgets, this one’s for you.
