I imagine Paul McCall has been in business long enough to do that level
of math without our help.
I agree with whoever suggested take an average and build it into your
monthly price.

Well say your repair bill is $10k/mo. If you spend this $95k you save
money after 9.5 months. Any money you don't spend on repairs in the
future is also saved.

And Josh, improvements to all the pieces / parts I have described
are right at $ 95K (all outgoing), so it’s a big deal.

Personally? 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.

I was discussing the massive tower upgrade/retrofits that we are
doing with my V.P. right hand man. 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.
