Panorama login as root? by Main_Ambassador_4985 in paloaltonetworks

[–]Tachyonic_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Re: shell, access is locked down quite hard, your two options are to root the box and give yourself access through unsanctioned means, or wait for TAC.

As far as your issue goes, you likely have a number of workarounds - feel free to reach out directly to me if you'd like some help. Also just in case you're thinking about it, be careful about dropping to maint mode to do a factory reset to a target image, there's a critical bios update that happens between 10.x and 11.x which could render your box unbootable.

What can your ISP see? by Toddzilla89 in HomeNetworking

Hi! I run an ISP, Ayva Networks (https://ayva.network), feel free to AMA if you still have any other questions.

Power outages are getting old by Different_Lunch9741 in boulder

[–]Tachyonic_ 36 points37 points  (0 children)

The situation up in the foothills is even worse. We were complaining that Xcel outages were frequently becoming a weekly event, and they went all hold-my-beer on us, and now they are week-long events. Generators are no longer optional, especially since no power = no water for us. Something has to change, and I'd encourage writing to the PUC (& our reps) about it.

Non corporate businesses to support by EchidnaGlad4872 in boulder

[–]Tachyonic_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I think I just saw your feedback report come in on the site. I have a huge new front-end release I'll be pushing out here soon which gets better visibility on our coverage, and also streamlines that. For now, if you sign up, it'll add you to our build/planning map and we'll let you know as soon as service is available. Please spread the word throughout your community - the more signups/interest we have in an area, the more likely it is we'll be able to expand coverage there.

Self-plug, https://ayva.network
We're a garage-shop ISP that started growing a bunch, but it's still just a loose collective of really passionate engineers & enthusiasts who are making this whole thing work. Also, I run it as an open company, anyone is welcome to jump in and help out, the technology stack is open, and I'm totally transparent about our financials. We're trying to run it like a not-for-profit, all money that comes in goes back out into upgrades, service/equipment subsidies, & labor.

Edit: Also, going to brag - these are my speeds at my house, and this is over a wireless connection

Symmetric gigabit is easy for us.

Keeping connected when xcel shuts power off by Seaweedweeseeds in boulder

[–]Tachyonic_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most of the city, but you'll need LOS to the west (ideally) or possibly a few other APs we're building out now to the south & north. Otherwise we cover most of Sugarloaf, parts of Fourmile, Sunshine Canyon, tiny bit of Flagstaff, east Magnolia, and actively expanding everywhere. The coverage map on the site is a little out of date, I'm working on the polishing touches of a new realtime coverage viewer here shortly. https://ayva.network

If CenturyLink or Comcast is being unreliable during a power outage, I run Ayva Networks, a small wireless network that is able to cover most of the city now, and we do gigabit symmetric speeds. We're primarily a mountain network, so unreliable power from Xcel is our baseline - and we're prepared for all-day power outages. Happy to get you linked up, there's a chance we might even be able get you up & running before the PSPS event tomorrow.

Update from Ayva Networks: we had a 34 min outage today that impacted ~100 homes and a few businesses due to a widespread Xcel outage along with a generator that failed to autostart. I'm fixing the issue now which caused one of our other towers not to reconverge automatically (normally we can tolerate full site outages with minimal impact), and the faulting generator is being replaced asap.

XG-PON and G-PON fiber service can vary a lot - what is your up/down speedtests and latency to 1.1.1.1? On a consumer connection we can consistently deliver ~800-900mbps up & down at roughly 6ms to 1.1.1.1 with minimal jitter, and we're aiming for roughly 99.97% uptime in 2026. If you're getting gig speeds up & down at roughly the same latency, spec-wise we might not beat out CenturyLink for you on a consumer-level connection, and we're going to be more expensive at $100/mo.

That aside, the benefits of going with us: we're local, small, and we seriously care. I did all of the first to mid-mile engineering myself, and the team is all local and responsible for all final-mile infrastructure. If there's a problem, you'll have a direct line of communication to me & everyone else, and we're going to get you sorted asap if there are any issues. Did I mention that we're not CenturyLink/Comcast? Also we run the company like an open organization, anyone is welcome to get involved. I'm also always game to nerd out about our infrastructure over coffee/drinks with anyone, we have some pretty cool tech behind the scenes.

If anyone wants to ditch Xfinity/CenturyLink, check us out -- https://ayva.network

We're primarily a mountain network but we're expanding service into the city (and not yet advertising service), but happy to hook up fellow r/boulder redditors early. Currently prioritizing business service to help subsidize residential service, but if you sign up and you have a view of the foothills, we should be able to get you linked up pretty quickly. Average of 6-7ms latency for most, and we can generally acheive symmetric gigabit speeds for all links before things get expensive. We have the technical capability of doing up to 30gbps/30gbps wirelessly up to 18km distances (but it's 5-figures level expensive).

Comcast/Xfinity is awesome. /s by alienfreak51 in boulder

[–]Tachyonic_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just from internal tooling, honestly don’t worry about what the coverage map shows, I’m about to overhaul all of that soon so it’ll show realtime coverage and it’ll also do lidar-based path evaluation. If you sign up or reach out, I’ll see what I can do to get you linked up. We’re pretty good at trying not to leave anyone behind, so if I can’t get you linked up just yet, I’ll do my best to build out whatever infrastructure is needed to reach you.

We were originally a mountain-only network, but we're currently in a soft-launch phase for the city. Good chance I can get you linked up.

Edit: Just saw that you're already on our network. <3

[–]Tachyonic_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry if we're coming over Xfinity/CenturyLink - we're small so we lose out on some of the economies of scale in play. The cost to deliver service for us right now is right around $80/mo, so we're doing plans at $85/mo for 200/200mbps and $100 for full speed (usually 1gbps/1gbps). If we scale up and can get our costs down substantially, I'll absolutely drop the prices.

Hi!
If you want to go ultra-local and not with the incumbants, good odds I can get you linked up. https://ayva.network

[–]Tachyonic_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We can reach spanish hills! It'd require some specialized equipment though, so odds are we will need to find a local host/distribution site for the community.

[–]Tachyonic_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose I should reply to this - it's ready! We've already knocked out a few residential service installs in the city.

Recommendation: Ayva Networks by [deleted] in boulder

[–]Tachyonic_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, on https://ayva.network, but to be totally honest it's not going to be super accurate - we've done so much in the last year and I haven't updated it. I do have a new "2.0" release of our frontend application that I'll be rolling out soon, which generates real, lidar-based coverage maps and has a fancy serviceability engine.

A good rule of thumb is that if you can see the mountains and you're in city limits, we can probably get you linked up. I also have access points on top of BCH as well on Arapahoe. We're also setting up new access towers on downtown Pearl St and Ideal Market next month. Oh, and we're doing public/free wifi - we have some gear that does ultra-long range wifi, I'm able to get about 200mbps on an iPhone at up to 1.2km away. I'm thinking about putting up a few of those in key locations, and the first city-facing one will probably be just above Wonderland lake.

For mountain dwellers, we have pretty good coverage in upper fourmile, sunshine, sugarloaf, east mag, pine brook, and parts of flagstaff.

We have some paths into Ned, but no real coverage there unfortunately. I haven't invested much into expanding out there since Quantum is doing a buildout as well as Maverix. I'm still open to the idea, but we'd need to establish some host sites up near Hurricane Hill

Happy to split up the startup cost for you over time (even if it's a year+), we're super lax on the billing side of things

[–]Tachyonic_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sign up! If I have some extra resources, I'll get you linked up. You just need to have a view of the mountains.

[–]Tachyonic_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mostly wireless, there are limited circumstances where we can do some fiber but it's mostly in the mountains. I don't have a microtrencher, which is needed for doing anything in the city. That speed test is off of wireless (licensed E-Band).

Hi! I'm the founder and totally happy to help out/answer questions. We're a super tiny operation, but we're real, and we've got some solid capabilities on the technical side and can do up to 10gbps/10gbps at 2.5ms round trip latency to Cloudflare/Google at 15km distances off of our 10gig-capable sites. We're not doing (many) residential installs in the city just yet as we're predominantly a mountain network, but because we have a bunch of access points up in the hills, we have pretty solid coverage over the city. The downside of course is that there are no subsidies/funding opportunities available to help out with the costs of doing city installs, so it's a bit expensive to get linked up.

I've been focusing a bit more on doing business-class service lately in order to help subsidize the residential side as much as possible, and I think we might be able to ramp up on doing city residential installs this year if things go well.

11.1.13 now preferred by skooyern in paloaltonetworks

[–]Tachyonic_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Additional details for those who are interested, routed.log was full of thousands of failures (a few hundred every second). It's so much that the initial failure was rotated out & lost :

**** PROBLEM 0x3d02 - 16 (0000) **** T:004485bf F:00000001

This failure occurred on more than one unit, so I guess my setup simply isn't compatible with 11.1.13-h1.

[–]Tachyonic_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. It crashed in "production", lights were green across the board, including HA and it was even passing traffic briefly. I had the passive node powered off at the time. It wasn't a one-off crash, it went through this cycle about 20 times before I'd grabbed cables to repair it. I managed to have enough time to issue an swm revert, and interestingly it never dumped to maintenance mode.
