Re: [WISPA] Fuel surcharge for Customer Repairs?

Thats how I've always handled it. With that said, there are things we are not responsible for because the equipment is in the customer's care. Up until now, we havent charge for acts of God but we're close to doing so. Actually, we're considering pushing our $5/month "protection plan". My analogy i

Re: [WISPA] Living Disaster Fund - Not a One Time Charity Event

If possible, the idea would be in cases where insurance is likely to eventually compensate, it could act as a loan, and the fund is replenished whenever insurance finally cuts a check. Where there is not going to be insurance, perhaps the operator can agree to future payments for partial repay

Re: [WISPA] Fuel surcharge for Customer Repairs?

IMHO, if you own the equipment, you are responsible for repair and upgrade of the equipment. Our policy is that if we roll the truck and the problem is not in our gear, you pay. Since switching to UBNT and MT, we can troubleshoot most anything remotely...

Blake, I'm guessing 60-100' would be great! The tower that bent over looked to be about 120'. I'm sure he probably wasn't all the way at the top. If he can reach 90% of his other towers/customers from the top of a 30-40' building, then 60-100' would probably get him to 100%. I would think th

Re: [WISPA] Fuel surcharge for Customer Repairs?

Our rule is, if the problem is because trees grew and obscured the signal the service call is free, if the customer places something in front of the radio we charge them. Basically if it was something out of their control we don't charge. I have had them put up a new morton building and block

Re: [WISPA] Fuel surcharge for Customer Repairs?

If it was your equipments fault I'd say you couldn't charge for anything. However if the customer built a garage in front of the unit or reroofed the house and the roofers took it down or something like that, id say they'd definitely get a truckroll fee. Also unwillingness to trim a tree or somethi

Any thoughts on a service charge for on-site CPE repairs or relocating equipment due to changed signals. We have a bit of a disagreement within as to whether this would be ethical. The customer does not own the equipment at their location. We use a lot of 900Mhz so there are regular equipment re
