Hoyos Consulting

What Hoyos Consulting does

Hoyos Consulting LLC is a privately held boutique internet service provider and network consultancy founded in 2008 and headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin. The company operates its own ARIN-registered IP backbone (AS53597) with dedicated peering, dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 routing, MPLS, and a carrier-grade network operations center, distinguishing it from resellers that rebrand partner circuits. It delivers business internet via fiber and fixed wireless, carrier and wholesale connectivity (Layer 2 transport, wavelengths, backhaul, NNI interconnects), data center colocation in Madison and Milwaukee, managed network infrastructure, network consulting, and equipment procurement and integration. The company serves a diversified customer base including mid-market and enterprise businesses, carriers and network operators, managed service providers, and multi-tenant environments, with operations spanning the United States from Midwest origins to both coasts.

The company's revenue model combines recurring subscription streams (business internet, carrier and wholesale services, colocation, managed infrastructure) with project-based professional services (network consulting, audits, migrations) and hardware resale (routers, switches, firewalls, optics). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is engineering-led direct sales with deep technical expertise embedded in customer engagement, supported by a company website, direct phone and email contact, a network status portal, and referral-driven demand from existing customers. The company also operates two wholly-owned sub-brands: Four Lakes Broadband, providing residential fixed wireless internet in Wisconsin, and Hoyos Event Networks, providing event network infrastructure for conferences and venues.

Hoyos Consulting operates with a small team of 1-10 employees and has no disclosed institutional funding, acquisitions, or public market presence. Founder Andrew Hoyos leads the company, which maintains technology platform partnerships with Juniper, Fortinet, Cisco, Ubiquiti, MikroTik, and Grandstream to support multi-vendor network deployments. Long-tenured customer relationships — spanning nearly a decade to over ten years per public testimonials — and deep network integration create meaningful switching costs, while the proprietary IP backbone and NNI portfolio constitute the core technical moat.

Direct peers

• Hurricane Electric: Independent global network operator with its own ASN, extensive IPv6 footprint, and major peering presence. Comparable at the BGP/routing/peering layer; represents the practitioner-operator model Hoyos aspires to within its regional footprint.
• US Signal: Midwest-headquartered fiber carrier and data center operator offering colocation, wholesale connectivity, and managed network services. US Signal directly parallels Hoyos on geography, backbone ownership, and the mix of wholesale + enterprise + colocation revenue streams.
• Ntirety: Managed network, hosting, and colocation provider with deep engineering services. Comparable boutique-scale managed infrastructure and consulting model, especially for organizations needing hands-on network operations support.
• Telnet Worldwide: Network consultancy and managed services provider offering connectivity, voice, and network operations support. Similar engineering-led, relationship-driven model to Hoyos; comparable boutique ISP/consultancy profile.
• 123Net: Michigan-based boutique network operator providing business internet, fiber, wireless, and data center colocation across the Great Lakes region. Closely matches Hoyos in scale, regional-only roots, owned-backbone model, and mid-market + carrier focus.

Broad incumbents

• Cox Business: National business ISP and managed services arm of a major cable operator, targeting mid-market and enterprise customers. Comparable customer segment and competing on business internet, managed networking, and voice offerings.
• Lumen (CenturyLink): National incumbent telco offering MPLS, wavelengths, managed services, and wholesale carrier solutions. Represents the legacy carrier alternative that Hoyos pitches against on engineering depth and responsiveness.
• Zayo Group: Large wholesale fiber and colocation provider offering wavelengths, dark fiber, and carrier-neutral data centers nationwide. Overlaps with Hoyos on Layer 2/wavelengths/backhaul but at vastly greater scale; sets the benchmark Hoyos competes against in wholesale connectivity.
• NTT America: Global telecommunications and managed services provider with a strong IP backbone and enterprise networking portfolio. Comparable on backbone ownership and managed network infrastructure; competes with Hoyos in the carrier and multinational customer base.

Regional players

• Midco: Regional ISP serving the Midwest with business and residential broadband and managed services. Comparable regional ISP operating model and target customer profile, though larger scale; useful as a regional-tier comparable for Hoyos's enterprise business.
