Very well written Joe.
As a company that’s NEVER given all you can eat for one low price I agree with
you. Those who cause costs to go up should pay for those costs.
Not taxpayer subsidies, not everyone paying higher costs than they should.

I’d probably find out how long they need the “line clear”. My guess is that a

We do usage based billing. Have since day one.
Our basic plan is 25 gigs for $40ish (slightly different in different towns).
That’s good enough for over 90% of our customer base.
We have lost a lot of customers though (20ish%) over the last two years. We’ve
gained more than we’ve lost, but

Look at a difference in rssi levels at each end. I've seen some of the

hard one to catch.

No. But I do have a site.

At the time, panels and a 40 amp charge controller *with float charging* was

They have pretty high wind load so you’ll need a good structure to hold them

Stays dry and easy to work with until it gets wet. IF there’s a problem that
allows liquid into the cable it self seals the hole. Pretty cool stuff.
I do wish they had a better packaging system. I really miss the “rabbit pull”

that sounds fun. I actually already have my motorhome set up to do just that.

The other good thing is that they will (hopefully) keep using wifi where we can
use polling mechanisms easier today so we *should* be more protected against
the interference than we used to be with older 2.4 gig gear.

Replacing the card will get that 10 to 20dB of lost signal back 100% of

We spot the bad ones when there is a 10 to 20 dB difference between tx and

For those that do strictly usage based billing, are your customer connections
wide open or do you do some sort of rate limit as well?

We’ve done usage based billing since day one. We’ve lost roughly 15% of our
customer base over the last couple of years because of it.
But the ones we’ve lost are the ones that think they should be able to give up
a $100 per month cable bill and replace it with a $0 increase internet bill
Offer a choice to them.
$100++ for a speed limited but bit “unlimited” (read that to mean high
threshold) plan.
Or, $40 for a lower usage plan with smaller steps for higher than average but
non disruptive customers.
And remember, the high usage customers are costing more than they are paying.
I have a system that Butch built running in cop cars. It works quite well.
It’s MT based and automatically handles the change of tower and ip addressing
that goes with that. It’ll even lock onto the unsecured out of the box Linksys
type systems of old or any other ones we can identify ahead
A good rule of thumb is at least 10’ vertical or 20’ horizontal between
anything in the same band.
Further is better .

We've done this from time to time.
Use stainless screws, regular ones rust after just a few years.
Make sure that the customer knows that you will have to re-aim the antenna
from time to time. Things may have to be trimmed depending on what kind of
tree it is etc.
