dsiNET was born in 2017, when a group of friends — Ben, Yusuf, Tom, and the two Zachs (who just became "Zach 1" and "Zach 2" to keep things simple) — were trying to stay connected across the Scottish Highlands. The problem? Tom’s place, tucked deep into a remote glen outside Fort William, had next to no internet. Streaming barely worked. Online voice chat was a mess. And multiplayer gaming? Completely off the table.
They started messing around with whatever gear they could get their hands on — spare routers, old satellite dishes, borrowed radio equipment. It wasn’t fancy, but with enough duct tape and determination, they eventually built a stable long-range connection from a nearby hilltop with decent line of sight.

That janky setup ran for months. And it worked. People around the area started asking about it. Farmers. Remote workers. A hostel owner. Word spread fast in small places, and soon they were helping others do the same.
In 2019, they decided to stop treating it like a side hobby and built something real. dsiNET officially launched with one mission: deliver fast, reliable internet to places the big providers ignore.
Today, the same crew is still behind it — Zach 1 still handles most of the hardware, and Zach 2 is the radio wizard. From the Highlands to Siberia, dsiNET brings high-speed access to people off the grid, far from fiber, and miles from the nearest mobile tower.
