And, I would do that, but we just did our 1st price increase on our “standard” tier plan (10% increase) only 8 months ago.

Probably never. If you have competition then HELL no. I would strongly advise you look at your contracts to see if you can do that without getting sued. Look at it this way. You can a) spend $5k/mo on repairs or b) spend $15k once to prevent the monthly repair bills.

We are converting from 24vdc to 48vdc, fiber and DC up the tower, additional grounding at the tower, additional grounding at the service panel, adding panel surge protectors and adding a circuit surge protector at our equipment…. All in the interest of reducing a lightning surge damage. Completely redoing the box and going with EdgePoint S16s up the tower. All this equals lots of $$ going out the door. I was discussing the approach that we might take in discussing this with the property owners where we have put up towers. Panel protectors will certainly benefit the customers property as well as the Florida storms aren’t kind, sometimes blowing out expensive appliances in their homes, etc. So, was thinking of asking for some kind of contribution to help just a little. That will probably be received OK. So, my V.P. asked if the “crowd” (you guys) has ever done any “special assessment” to customers (one time additional fee) as a contribution towards better reliability. Not sure how that will be received, but it’s an interesting concept and every little bit would help against the big bill. Anybody done something like this, involving existing customers.
