[WISPA] Service Level Agreement (SLA)

[Ian Framson]

Hi Wispa Members,

I've been observing the email group for several months. This is my first
post.

Can anyone share an SLA that they've used? I am providing some rental
equipment to a client who is hosting events at hotels. He wants to make
sure the bandwidth he is buying at the hotel meets his minimum requirements
and wants some teeth in the SLA to hold the hotel accountable.

If anyone has an SLA that we could use as a template to assist the client,

[WISPA] Service call in Fresno and SMATV install in San Diego

[Jerry Richardson]

Service call Problem Description :
MDF PoE Switch and Access Point connected to it are showing down. The PoE 
switch is connected off of the internal core in the MDF

Directions to Technician :
Need tech to investigate, checking for physical and electrical issues. This 
includes the following:
* State of managed devices, particularly switches, via console
* Environmental conditions, including temperature and cleanliness
* State of electrical, especially grounding and power consumption constraints
* Etc.

In order to maintain accurate documentation, tech should bring a camera, taking 
pictures of the closet being worked in and the MDF.


San Diego
apartment complex SMATV installation. I don't have the details, but t's a lot 
of cable pulling. Probably 5 installers for 2 weeks. If you have the resources, 
I will put you in touch with my client.

Thanks

I saw your web page about your service in Bucyrus.  My mom lives on the
outskirts of Grove City Ohio and I'm looking for a service like yours in her
area.  I know that you don't have service down there but thought you might
know another provider.  She currently uses verizonwireless but the signal
was so weak I had to install a directional antenna on the roof.  With that,
she now gets -78dB but the speed is still around 300kbps and she pays
$60/month.  Your site claimed a lot better than that.

 

Please let me know what providers you are aware of near her area.  Here is
here address if you need it:

3836 georgesville Wrightsville Rd., Grove City, OH 43123

 

Thanks,

John

Customer LOVE options to fit their particular needs and budget. Therefore,
we offer multiple options including no agreement (month-to-month) or term
agreements up to two years with discounts depending on the length or terms.
This is viewed as a positive because of the flexibility.

 We keep our contract 1 page. I'm sure a lawyer would laugh at it, but
 the idea is that neither party wants it to end up in lawyer's hands.
 Referencing the TOS on your website would be a good thing in saving
 paper.

 We do 2 year contracts for one price and 1 year for a slightly higher
 setup price. We track who we give them to, who gave it to them and when.
 We need that to be able to follow up as sometimes customers don't follow
 through or expect the service but lose the paperwork. We can email the
 customer a pdf, the installers have them printed out in the van for
 customers. We track when we receive them back too; if we receive a
 contract back and there is a big delay in the install, that is a problem
 we have to investigate and address. If the customer needs a contract for
 reference we give them an extra blank one, or offer to mail them a
 photocopy of the one they signed.

Re: [WISPA] Service contracts

[RickG]

Contracts are never for the client.
They are always to protect you - the seller.

Not completely true. My contract customers get a price break and their rates
are locked in.

 Without a contract - if a business comes and states that you are
 responsible for a loss of business - you might think twice.
 Verbal contracts are only as good as the paper they are written on.

 Just ask Judge Joe Brown ;-)

 Funny part is - Most business clients want a contract.
 Even for our hosting customers its the same.

 Go figure

 barrier for us has been the length of time it takes from contract creation
 to customer returning it.  With our current situation striking while the
 iron is hot is not possible as it could take a couple of weeks for the
 agreement to be returned.  It is also intimidating at 6 pages long.

 So...a couple questions

 -How long is your customer contract (# of pages and term)
 -What does your process look like
 -Do your installers get the paperwork signed
 -What advantages are there to a term agreement

 Our thought is to possibly reduce it down to one page and reference the
 Terms of Service on our website.  When the new customer calls we can
 schedule them right on the spot and send the paperwork with the installer.
 Anything you see as a disadvantage with this?

Re: [WISPA] Service contracts

[Larry Yunker]

While I can understand the practicalities of enforcing a relatively
low-dollar value contract, I would point out that there are two very
important reasons to consider having term contracts in place:

1) Banks and other lending institutions like to see proof of future cash
flows (receivables) as a basis upon which to lend.  Having a few hundred
contracts that state that the customer has agreed to continue service with
you for the next 12 to 24 months goes a long ways towards establishing your
credit worthiness.

2) If you were to consider selling your ISP, the purchasing party would
likely place a higher value on your customers if those customers were under
a term contract versus being month-to-month with no recourse.

Regards,
Larry E. Yunker II, Esq.  (Former WISP)

Re: [WISPA] Service contracts

[Cameron Crum]

Why do paper at all? Have you ever signed a piece of paper when upgrading
your call phone plan?

 So...a couple questions

 -How long is your customer contract (# of pages and term)
 -What does your process look like
 -Do your installers get the paperwork signed
 -What advantages are there to a term agreement

 Our thought is to possibly reduce it down to one page and reference the
 Terms of Service on our website.  When the new customer calls we can
 schedule them right on the spot and send the paperwork with the installer.
 Anything you see as a disadvantage with this?

suggesting doing everything electronically?

Re: [WISPA] Service contracts

[Chuck Hogg]

We do contracts, with rates based on tiers (
http://www.shelbybb.com/wireless.aspx).  Customers are required to choose a
service plan at time of install for wireless internet and at time of order
for phone or DSL.

Regards,

Chuck

Re: [WISPA] Service contracts

[jp]

All the other service providers such as DSL and cable are looking to 
lock people into 2 year contracts as well. add to that cellular, but I 
don't really consider that a competitor, customers understand the 
similarities that there is a common need to get into a term agreement to 
have service. The advantage is that customers aren't hopping around 
playing musical chairs with service providers for a buck savings when 
the service providers spend a lot of money on their install. The 
customers can safely ignore all the misleading flyers they get from the 
cable company or phone company talking about introductory prices or 
prices without the fees added, at least till their contract period is 
winding down.

We keep our contract 1 page. I'm sure a lawyer would laugh at it, but 
the idea is that neither party wants it to end up in lawyer's hands. 
Referencing the TOS on your website would be a good thing in saving 
paper.

We do 2 year contracts for one price and 1 year for a slightly higher 
setup price. We track who we give them to, who gave it to them and when. 
We need that to be able to follow up as sometimes customers don't follow 
through or expect the service but lose the paperwork. We can email the 
customer a pdf, the installers have them printed out in the van for 
customers. We track when we receive them back too; if we receive a 
contract back and there is a big delay in the install, that is a problem 
we have to investigate and address. If the customer needs a contract for 
reference we give them an extra blank one, or offer to mail them a 
photocopy of the one they signed.

Cameron, I would love to learn more about your process and how you
do this. Does the customer just visit your site and agree by
checking a box to terms and conditions? Do they fill out billing
info, etc. as well?

Re: [WISPA] Service contracts

[Cameron Crum]

When I had a wisp, we made all customers create their account online at the
end of the install. The first step was agreeing to our terms so that nobody
could access our network without clicking through the TOS page and then
filling out their information. That was it. It also had the added benefit of
showing them thier service was working since they had to do it over the
internet.

How do you work that with outside collection agencies when they skip?  Our 
collection agency wants something stating the customer in fact agreed to the 
terms.

 We need that to be able to follow up as sometimes customers don't follow
 through or expect the service but lose the paperwork. We can email the
 customer a pdf, the installers have them printed out in the van for
 customers. We track when we receive them back too; if we receive a
 contract back and there is a big delay in the install, that is a problem
 we have to investigate and address. If the customer needs a contract for
 reference we give them an extra blank one, or offer to mail them a
 photocopy of the one they signed.

Re: [WISPA] Service contracts

[Jason Hensley]

Well, personally we just did away with contracts.  They became cumbersome
and almost impossible to enforce and the customers were just skipping town
without paying anyway.  We tout this as a positive to our customers - that
even though they have to pay a setup / install fee, we don't lock them into
a long-term agreement.  Works GREAT for our college customers.  

Our agreement is one piece of paper, info on both sides.  It lays out just
the basics of what we're providing, as well as the penalties if they don't
return their equipment when they're done with the service, and then
references our TOS for more info.  Our installer fills it out with their
info onsite, shows them the speedtest results, includes that on the sheet,
gets customers signature and check (or cash) and they are done.

How do you work that with outside collection agencies when they skip?  Our
collection agency wants something stating the customer in fact agreed to the
terms.

Re: [WISPA] Service contracts

Ditto here. One interesting note: While we condensed down to one page under
our lawyers guidance, I had an opportunity to test against a couple of
customers who happened to be lawyers! The lawyers conceded. We have not had
any issues with customer churn and I do my best to work with the customer
depending on why they want to leave.

Re: [WISPA] Service contracts

[RickG]

Customer LOVE options to fit their particular needs and budget. Therefore,
we offer multiple options including no agreement (month-to-month) or term
agreements up to two years with discounts depending on the length or terms.
This is viewed as a positive because of the flexibility.

Re: [WISPA] Service contracts

[Robert West]

Been there.  Found that customers were increasingly aggravated with
contracts.  Turned it all upside down and now I only have them sign a combo
TOS and the equipment is ours and we can come and go to service it at will.
I give a spiel of how contracts are BS because if someone wants you to sign
a contract, they must know something that you don't  We're family and
you are now part of it.  If you don't like the service, call me..  yada,
yada, yada.  We all bond and it's all good.

Re: [WISPA] Service contracts

[Glenn Kelley]

Contracts are never for the client.
They are always to protect you - the seller.

Without a contract - if a business comes and states that you are responsible 
for a loss of business - you might think twice. 
Verbal contracts are only as good as the paper they are written on. 

Just ask Judge Joe Brown ;-) 

Funny part is - Most business clients want a contract. 
Even for our hosting customers its the same. 

Go figure

 LOL.  From their FAQ:
 In addition to our Firewall protection, we use WEP encryption on all
 our radio links. WEP = Wired Equivalency Protocol, meaning it is
 considered to be as secure as a direct copper wire link. WEP
encryption
 is a coded algorithm that twists all data by a factor of 26 to the
 16th power to make it un-decipherable to anyone else. Many government
 agencies and other high security interests use this same encryption
 technique - it was developed to be especially secure.


 Ok..maybe it's just their web page that needs to be updated, or
perhaps
 they are really certain that WEP  is as secure as a direct copper
 wire.

I have a friend's sister that lives outside the town of Bristow, OK. Does 
anyone know who might service up there?

Thanks,

LOL.  From their FAQ:
In addition to our Firewall protection, we use WEP encryption on all
our radio links. WEP = Wired Equivalency Protocol, meaning it is
considered to be as secure as a direct copper wire link. WEP encryption
is a coded algorithm that twists all data by a factor of 26 to the
16th power to make it un-decipherable to anyone else. Many government
agencies and other high security interests use this same encryption
technique - it was developed to be especially secure.


Ok..maybe it's just their web page that needs to be updated, or perhaps
they are really certain that WEP  is as secure as a direct copper
wire.

[WISPA] Service in Germany

Hello,

I am trying to find any additional information on deployment in Germany. 
Aside from the frequency regulations from the EU are there any other 
regulations that need to be considered when deploying in Germany? I have 
been looking for a while and thought I should ask to see if anyone here 
has a link they could share.

Thanks,

I have not...and have not decided on if I will.  They have contacted me 
multiple times, requesting me to submit a proposal.

You have to bid to lease the network on a year to year basis.  You are 
responsible for all subscriber equipment.  You have to provide service to 
approximately 7,000 subscribers.  If you put out 7,000 Canopy SM's (Which is 
what they are pushing) that is $1.4M in subscriber gear.  You cannot charge a 
setup fee.  You have to offer internet service for $29.95/mth for 768kbps. At 
that price, it will take 10 months to recoup your installation and upfront 
equipment cost.  This does not take into consideration the backbone internet 
cost.  You may lose the contract before you can ever recoup the cost on a 
subscriber.

If you lose the yearly bid, you will have to go and reclaim the subscriber 
equipment.  The problem with this is, going to Hilbilly Bob's house to take 
his internet equipment away will be quite a hard task.

None of the water districts are going to give free access to their water 
towers.  You will have to negotiate access.  The commercial towers are all 
Crown, so plan on $500/mth in tower leasing.  

You have to do a beta test on your own dime in their area, providing internet 
service.  I don't know many commercial tower companies that will give you 
access for 60 days at a cheap rate, and who you will get a backbone connection 
from for 60 days.

You have to pay prevailing wage for all labor.

Once the network is in place, you are responsible for all and any 
upgrades/maintenance.  If you lose the bid at the end of the year, you have to 
go and reclaim your equipment.  If the company that installs the network uses 
equipment you don't like, that is not their problem it is yours.  If the 
network is hit by lightning, you are responsible for replacing the equipment.

You have to provide all of the upfront capital, and they will pay you back 
within 120 days.  Meaning, you have to put up the $550k for 120 days...before 
they will repay you.

I hate being a pessimist, but it is hard for me to be an optimist.  You have 
the potential of pulling in $210k per month on 7,000 subscribers.  You have to 
bid yearly on the contract to run the network.  It would suck if you put up 
the $1.4M to put in the equipment with the subscribers, to have the contract 
yanked from you the following year.  Good luck on getting those 7,000 
subscribers to be happy about you removing your equipment if you lose the 
contract (did I already mention that?)

If they would do it as a bid on a 5 or 10 year term then I would be interested.

Chuck Hogg

Re: [WISPA] Service in London, KY?

[RickG]

Thats right. The biggest obstacle to broadband penetration in these
parts is that many dont want a computer AND of those that do, many
dont want internet. I realize we on this list are connectivity
advocates but that doesnt mean that others have the same view.

Re: [WISPA] Service in London, KY?

[Chuck Hogg]

I have not...and have not decided on if I will.  They have contacted me 
multiple times, requesting me to submit a proposal.

You have to bid to lease the network on a year to year basis.  You are 
responsible for all subscriber equipment.  You have to provide service to 
approximately 7,000 subscribers.  If you put out 7,000 Canopy SM's (Which is 
what they are pushing) that is $1.4M in subscriber gear.  You cannot charge a 
setup fee.  You have to offer internet service for $29.95/mth for 768kbps. At 
that price, it will take 10 months to recoup your installation and upfront 
equipment cost.  This does not take into consideration the backbone internet 
cost.  You may lose the contract before you can ever recoup the cost on a 
subscriber.

If you lose the yearly bid, you will have to go and reclaim the subscriber 
equipment.  The problem with this is, going to Hilbilly Bob's house to take his 
internet equipment away will be quite a hard task.

None of the water districts are going to give free access to their water 
towers.  You will have to negotiate access.  The commercial towers are all 
Crown, so plan on $500/mth in tower leasing.  

You have to do a beta test on your own dime in their area, providing internet 
service.  I don't know many commercial tower companies that will give you 
access for 60 days at a cheap rate, and who you will get a backbone connection 
from for 60 days.

You have to pay prevailing wage for all labor.

Once the network is in place, you are responsible for all and any 
upgrades/maintenance.  If you lose the bid at the end of the year, you have to 
go and reclaim your equipment.  If the company that installs the network uses 
equipment you don't like, that is not their problem it is yours.  If the 
network is hit by lightning, you are responsible for replacing the equipment.

You have to provide all of the upfront capital, and they will pay you back 
within 120 days.  Meaning, you have to put up the $550k for 120 days...before 
they will repay you.

I hate being a pessimist, but it is hard for me to be an optimist.  You have 
the potential of pulling in $210k per month on 7,000 subscribers.  You have to 
bid yearly on the contract to run the network.  It would suck if you put up the 
$1.4M to put in the equipment with the subscribers, to have the contract yanked 
from you the following year.  Good luck on getting those 7,000 subscribers to 
be happy about you removing your equipment if you lose the contract (did I 
already mention that?)

If they would do it as a bid on a 5 or 10 year term then I would be interested.

Re: [WISPA] Service in London, KY?

[RickG]

My opinion as well! I just wondered who is brave enough. Also,
Hillbilly Bob lives up one of the many hollers. Besides the forest of
trees, the steep hills will prevent access to the many even with
900MHz.

LOL!  I saw that but dont lose any sleep over it. I dont know if your
very familiar with the territory but it's a true challenge. Remember,
one of my subs is a ConnectedNation Senior Manager and he told me
about this a long time ago. I've been over on that side of the ridge
many, many times in the 3+ years I've been here and the trees and
canyons are enough to send a wireless guy into a tizzy! 900MHz is not
that good.
