Steve was abducted by aliens who left a robot duplicate in his place the last few days. Now they have returned the real Steve, who is grouchy because ... probing?

Fuck him, I hope his crops die and his livestock goes lame a day after his slow internet times out when paying his insurance On Thu, Oct 15, 2015 at 2:43 PM, Adam Moffett <[email protected]> wrote: Interesting point. I know of a place where the customer bought a 100' tower for $12k to get internet. He also had someone bury conduit from the tower to the house. I don't know what he paid for that part, but it wasn't free. I haven't run into anyone willing to pay 6 figures though.

Maybe financing of a tower build? If you take $8000 and divide it by 96 months with a reasonable interest rate it's not so terrible. Particularly considering how much some people (not the $24.95/mo type customer) will pay for services in rural locations. Not too rare to find someone paying $95/mo for consumer grade VSAT service and then another $70 on top of that for satellite TV.

We have had a few people willing to spend 5k to get installations done. One has built a tower. Another one is $900 to create a very unique PTP from a new microsite. It's amazing what SOME people will do to get internet but I know that is not the norm - most just expect 50M for 19.95 and free install...

To summarize the whole thing, a couple of us can almost get to him, but not quite - and nobody wants to. It turned out he actually had called us earlier this year.
