Especially if you use reflectors on your network.

So, you get the complaints about slow speed / latency, but you don't have the means to upgrade the satellite or otherwise improve the service... sounds like you'd need to get paid a large amount of money to deal with that and the hit on your reputation.

Who retains the customer? Are you just getting a monthly referral fee, but the customer is theirs? If so, you are giving up the only thing of value for your business... the customer. When you sell your business, the only thing that matters is your customer count... why would you give that away to someone else? Build out your network and keep the customer.

We were against it from the start, but after evaluating it, we love it. Out of the 35 or so we have installed, I've had to return to less than 5 of them, and it's been after a very high winds storm to realign a couple reflectors. Since then they have redesigned the dish and I have not had to go back to any install since. I was right there with you guys and hated sat internet, but after using this, it's pretty amazing. Every install I get 20 meg on the speed tests, and the ping is pretty stable. Around 500ms, but the jitter is not very bad. They have voip that supposedly works pretty well. Not great for gamers, but works great for people that just want to browse the web, check email, use ebay, ect. It's been a blessing for us. I pretty much dont install 900mhz customers anymore.

Our converted-from-satellite-internet customers are extremely vocal about their disdain for satellite internet. A deal like this may bring in an extra few bucks; headaches, doubly so.
