I mean which plans are your more popular.  
I would guess the plan one notch up from the bottom?

Chuck,  

We qualify each address to find out which speeds we put them on the best plan 
and price we can if they're in an area with horns. But right now, 80% of our 
new customer installs are rural areas with the higher pricing and lower speed 
plans I linked to. We're no longer building any new sites in town because of 
how busy we are.

DSL, Satellite, and cellular have all been getting much worse in our area so 
people are seeking us out more than ever.

    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.

      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 ??

        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 ;-)

          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 channels)

          3)  The mesh system presumably uses additional spectrum for the 
backhaul between pucks

          4)  Most customers put in 3 of them, virtually guaranteeing at least 
1 of them will be right near the dish to the tower

          5)  Many customers also figure they can put them in outbuildings to 
get service to their shop, barn, etc. (one customer today intended to put one 
in his wife’s “she-shed”)



          With any other router we just set the channel to a U-NII-1 or DFS 
channel.  We have a fair amount of 3.65 GHz in our network and then it isn’t a 
problem, but the majority is still 5 GHz.
