We used to charge $50 upfront and $10 per month for Calix. Now we just increased our plan prices and give the Calix away for free. We have 99% take rate when it's free. On Sat, Dec 14, 2019, 12:30 PM Kurt Fankhauser wrote: > Sean, > > Do you charge the customer for any up-front hardware costs

Sean, Do you charge the customer for any up-front hardware costs when you install Calix or are you only getting ROI from the $12/monthly ?? On Sat, Dec 14, 2019 at 3:38 AM Sean Heskett wrote: > We install a Calix as a “trial” so we have visibility into their network > and voila all their Wi-Fi

We install a Calix as a “trial” so we have visibility into their network and voila all their Wi-Fi problems go away. After the free month trial it becomes a paid service and for $12/mo we make sure their Wi-Fi keeps working. Win-win for us and them ;-) -Sean On Fri, Dec 13, 2019 at 10:33 AM

Offer an alternative. We offer Calix 844 and 804's as required for the house. Let's us keep close control on frequencies used in the house and has reduced calls to almost nothing for "router issues" On Fri, Dec 13, 2019 at 2:03 PM Steve Jones wrote: > wasnt it a big deal to tamper with a phone

2019-12-13 Thread Ken Hohhof
Has anyone figured out a solution to interference with Google WiFi at customers fed via 5 GHz? We have found it to be an unsolvable problem due to: 1) Google does not let you set the frequencies 2) Google does not let you set the channel width (and therefore presumably uses 80 MHz
