The most honest podcast in broadband.

EPISODES IN YOUR INBOX

Real stories. Straight talk. No buzzwords.

Running an ISP means you deal with late-night alerts, tangled infrastructure, burnout, and constant pressure to keep communities connected. And yet, most of what's out there glosses over the hard parts.

Bandwidth is different.

It's a podcast for people who do the work, build networks, fix outages, lead small teams, and try to stay ahead of the next shift in tech, policy, or customer expectations. In every episode, you'll hear from folks who've lived the chaos and kept going.

Why This Show Exists

Because most broadband conversations skip the hard stuff. Because policy summaries don't help when your field truck just rolled into a bad install. Because leading through complexity is easier when you know someone else has done it, too. Bandwidth was built for the people, keeping the signal alive and the business running.

If you've ever:

Lost sleep over an outage or staffing gap

Argued over alert thresholds

Had to make the budget work when the tech doesn’t

Wondered if other ISPs are dealing with the same pain

This show is for you.
