A Network With a Soul

We're not another ISP. We're a digital commons, owned and operated by the community.

Community Owned

Neighbors helping neighbors build and maintain our city's digital infrastructure. You are the network.

Open & Neutral

Governed by the Network Commons License, ensuring net neutrality and data privacy for everyone.

$0 Monthly Cost

Access is funded by optional donations. We believe internet access is a right, not a luxury.

How It Works

We create a resilient, community-built grid across the city, one rooftop at a time.

1
Install a Node

A small antenna is installed on your roof with a clear line of sight to another node.

2
Connect to the Mesh

Your node talks to other nodes, creating a web of connections across your neighborhood.

3
Reach the Internet

The mesh connects to a "Supernode" with a high-speed fiber uplink, bringing the internet to everyone.

4
Expand & Strengthen

Every new node makes the network larger and more reliable for the entire community.

"The network grows as more people get involved, and every new connection strengthens the system for everyone."

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, access is free. There is no monthly fee. The network is funded by optional donations. The "catch" is that it's built and run by volunteers, so its growth depends on community participation.

We are a community-owned network, not a commercial ISP. We operate our own infrastructure and connect directly to the internet backbone, just like major providers. We don't resell service; we *are* the service.

Typical speeds range from 20-100 Mbps, depending on your connection to the mesh. As the network grows denser, speeds and reliability improve for everyone. It's perfect for streaming, video calls, and everyday browsing. See our Broadband Consumer Label.

Your traffic is not visible to other users on the network. We recommend using standard security practices like HTTPS and a VPN for sensitive information, just as you would on any internet connection. We value privacy and do not monitor or sell user data.
