In the early days of the Internet, there was lots of smaller ISPs who were run by more tech-savvy individuals rather than money-savvy individuals; those who were more interested in bringing Internet connectivity to their region than making a quick buck.
They were also aware that while bringing more users to the Internet was important in order to ensure its' continued success; there was also a need to contribute something back, either in terms of financial support or providing some form of free service.
Spilsby Internet Solutions is now at a far far higher level of the game than I could have anticipated in February 2006 and I am now in the unique position where I have enough bandwidth and resources to contribute something back to the Internet.
As such, mirrors.spilsby.net is now online and mirroring a small number of lesser-known FTP sites and open-source projects containing material which I find to be of personal interest and does not currently have a UK-based mirror. |
