EXPOSED-HOW YOUR CYBER CAFÉ INTERNET PROVIDER CHEATS YOU!
Introduction
By far the most daunting challenge a cyber café owner will face is his internet service provider (ISP). Most ISP’s do not have the experience of how to provision bandwidth for cyber cafes. Cyber cafes have specific needs in terms of bandwidth.
Most times ISP’S provide services that are either not available or painfully slow, this eventually leads to lose of customers and money for the café owner. In spite of all of these, the café owner still has to pay his monthly bandwidth fee no matter what.
There is also the issue of high cost of bandwidth, at the end of the month, a café owner uses more than 80% of his income to pay for bandwidth, whereby he is unable to earn enough for the month, he has to borrow money from other sources to pay his ISP whether he worked or not. What a way to do business.
Find below three main ways your cyber café internet service provider cheats you and how you can checkmate them;

1). Pooled / Shared Bandwidth
What your service provider does here is to carve out a block of bandwidth i.e. 256kbps and decides how many cyber cafes to put on this bandwidth block say 10. He makes sure that no matter what happens, customers on this bandwidth block never exceed the bandwidth allocated to them.
During peak periods, all hell breaks lose at most ISP’s servers, they have more customers online than they have bandwidth to provide. You are left to best effort principles which are always unfair.
Ultimately, your café has to scramble for whatever is available. When a few people are logged on you will experience fast browsing, but when most people log on at peak periods, the link becomes very slow.

What this means is that your provider pays his ISP for 256kbps dedicated bandwidth and shares it for 10 cyber cafes. While he laughs to the bank at the end of the month, you the cyber café owner has to pay for bandwidth no matter what you managed to get during the month, even if you have to borrow money to make this payment. This is very unfair.

2). Head or Tail you Lose
If for any reason i.e. power failure, Local network issues, low patronage etc you do not work for a major part of the month, this is not the business of the service provider. As if to add insult to injury, he will cut your service off if you do not make your monthly bandwidth payment as and at when due.
Internet speed ultimately depends on your service provider. Your ISP may change their network's configuration, or suffer technical difficulties that inadvertently cause your Internet connection to run slow.

ISP's may also intentionally install filters or controls on the network that can lower your performance. In spite of all of these, you the café owner still has to bear the burden. At the end of the month, you have to pay up on time or your service is cut off. Head or tail you lose.

3). Volume/ Data Based Bandwidth
Here the understanding is that your bandwidth will be limited by your downloads. But unfortunately for the café owner, he has three variable working against him,
i. Most likely he is not provisioning his bandwidth to his customers in the same way. So even though his bandwidth has download limits, he sells tickets to his customers with no limits, at the end of the day, he is at the losing end.
ii. He has download limits placed on his service by his internet provider, so if for any reason he exceed even if it is two days into a new month, his service is cut off.
iii. He is also limited by time. So even if at the end of one month he does not exhaust his data allocation, he losses it.
So head or tail the cyber café owner loses.
Solution to above Issues
The most profitable bandwidth provisioning style for a cyber café is the pay as you go solution (PAYG). Here the ISP provisions his bandwidth in such a way that when the café is not working the café owner pays noting to the provider.

So café owners save money when he has low patronage, issues with his network, when the ISP has issues, during off peak periods etc, he is not obligated to pay for service he did not use.
Benefits of PAYG solution

No need for monthly Bandwidth Payments.
High Speed connection- Each computer on your network is allocated high bandwidth.
No limits to the number of computers you can put on your LAN.
Flexible Payments- You only pay when you are using the service.

Ensure you go with an Internet Service Provider who is experienced in bandwidth provisioning for cyber cafes, not all ISP know how to do this. The success of your Cyber Café business depends on your Internet Service.
