I regularly run into customers who want a new SM because we installed it
several years ago and they assume there are newer, faster ones now and they
should have one of those.

 

It doesn't help when for example they see us install a 450b for a neighbor
and it looks different from their classic 450 with a reflector dish.  It
looks different.  Obviously the neighbor got the new fast radio, while they
are stuck with the old slow one, and we need to come upgrade theirs.  I can
try to explain why there's no difference, or something about it being a
software defined radio and theirs is running the latest FW same as the
neighbor's radio, or that we applied a license key to take theirs from 20M
sustained to uncapped.  But they seem to think if they are paying their bill
every month, they should get a new radio every couple years.  Like a new
smartphone every 2 years?  Or maybe they think the only thing we did was
install something on their roof, so why do they need to keep paying us if we
don't upgrade the thing on the roof, what are we doing to earn our money?

 

Anybody have a solution for this?  Or just continue ignoring them?
