To be fair, I do indeed have a happy customers, who presumably will pay for service for some number of months greater than zero - point taken.
The Cambium fiber is dropping in price, and the config is supposedly simple. When originally proposed, it cost the same as Calix and Adtran (we have both, prefer Adtran due to being more engineering and less marketing). We’re seeing former customers getting hit by higher, non-subsidized prices from big box broadband, after they raised prices following the build, and the period of time they thought it would take to put the competition out of business. They’re coming back. What 6GHz does is help local folks stay local, and Starlink customers get a choice if they want to save money, stay local, and have good speed. Also, hopefully it’ll help subsidize fiber, which is a long slog. > On May 23, 2025, at 8:44 AM, Ken Hohhof <[email protected]> wrote: > > I didn’t hear anything about $3/sub for their other 6 GHz product line > (450v).
