I’m not sure we will see yearly iterations of CAF. Sure, subsidies are one factor to consider when offering and pricing services and making business plans, but I think you are giving it too much weight. And don’t lose sight of what the cellcos may come up with for fixed wireless, we can laugh

Eh, it's indirect. Either you can provide the speeds the government says meets the needs of consumers, or they will be willing to fund an expansion in your area. You can either be the one growing your network and providing more jobs for your community, or $NationalCorp will, with shittier tech

The Shireen reels only snag if they are not placed right side up. To put extra back in you have to reach through the hole and roll it back on to the reel. The boxes need to be taped in order to last without falling apart, but I haven't had a single issue with the Shireen box reels in three years

What I really, really dislike is the "loop in a box" for lack of a better term. Guaranteed to kink, and don't you dare to ever stuff any back in the box. The Shireen reels in a box are pure crap. They lock up, snag, or just bind into a non-rotating condition at the drop of a hat. The only

I wish I could find normal cat5 on a spool. It takes less room in the service vehicles and spools out smooth without kinks. But I can only find it in the direct bury flavor. I made my guys some nice reel holders so they can put the spool on its side and slide it under the shelves in their

Re: [AFMUG] is....the price right?

Jay, Depends if I expect them to actually get those speeds. If I do, then quite a bit. Maybe something like $99/month for 30x15. $199/month for 100x50. Even at that price, there's an assumption that they're not actually using it all. If it's "up to" and we don't care whether it happens,

Re: [AFMUG] is....the price right?

If I understand correctly, you limit the customer's speed based on the quality of their connection. Is that right? That mitigates the impact of weak connections on the systemI just don't know how I would explain it to consumers. -- Original Message -- From: "That One Guy /sarcasm"

Re: [AFMUG] residential cable preferences

If a cable is more durable, then it's longer before you have to go back and replace it. If a cable is less kinky and stiff, then it installs easier which saves labor. We have to try to quantify and weigh these factors. It's not religion, it's business. There's also no harm in appreciating
