Josh, I would suggest you read the details about the program. The programs have nothing to do with free upgrades or warranties. Can you find any claims about free upgrades or special warranties? The program is all about charging for support time. You can respond again if you choose but I am finished. I see no need to have an argument over this issue.
Tom Cambium Care Standard is best for customers with ... * Strong support team with solid Cambium knowledge * Infrequent need to contact technical support * Occasional needs for warranty claims or other hardware service * Occasional needs for assistance with licensing * Stock their own spares * Low/no budget for outside services Cambium Care Plus is best for customers with ... * Support team that is new to Cambium products * Support team that is relatively junior * Support engineers with Cambium technical certification who want to bypass Level 1 * Support team that is very lean, especially after hours and weekends * Large and/or complex networks * Demanding customers with little tolerance for downtime * Stock their own spares * Appreciation that a strong support partner is worth spending money Cambium Care Prime is best for customers with ... · SLAs they must meet for their own customers · Mission-critical networks · Large and/or complex networks · Support team that has to support a wide variety of network elements and may not have deep knowledge of Cambium products · Appreciation for close working relationship with their support vendor · Don’t want to stock spares and want the assurance of rapid turnaround for hardware repair/replacement · Support contracts with other network equipment vendors and who understand that good support comes with a price tag From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Josh Luthman Sent: Thursday, March 02, 2017 3:05 PM To: Cambium Networks User Group <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Cambium-users] Introducing Cambium Care I am not with Cambium. You are more than welcome to your opinions. Complaining that Cambium is seeking revenue is just beyond ridiculous. Do you give your customers free upgrades? Do you give them free warranties? Why would you expect anyone to do this for you?

If you are with Cambium I think you are out of line. >it is just clearly a way to try to generate revenue Your complaint is that a business wants generate revenue? Really? I am entitled to my opinions and have endured 15 years of Motorola and Cambium many bad software releases. I think it is wrong to charge for getting timely help to Cambium problems. We never call cambium to chit chat or to ask stupid questions.

It would seem to me that you have your program is designed backwards. Why are you going to penalize the customers like SITCO that are very self-sufficient and give us answers on a non-priority basis? We only call if we have an emergency or suspect a firmware bug. And when we call we expect to be able to talk to a human to expedite a resolution. You say “Prime customers will have regular personal interaction to learn about the latest releases, service bulletins, and other timely information.” Prime customers will learn about latest releases, service bulletins, and other timely information. Don’t you think your good customers want this as well? Please explain the logic of your new program. To me it is just clearly a way to try to generate revenue and by its design will provide inferior service to the self-sufficient customers.
