If they're not powered by the TV I wonder if someone turns off a TV and
leaves a series going on the streaming device constantly going to the
next episode.
....I mean I don't really wonder. I know /someone /does that. I guess
I wonder how prevalent that is.

I assume you don’t send them a mesh unit to put behind the TV. Do you
tell them to put the Firestick on an extender cable? Or to buy an
actual FireTV or maybe something good like a Roku?
I’m getting tired of the Firesticks. Lots of customers have 3-5
devices with hostnames amazon-xxxxxxx which I assume are Firesticks
but I guess they could be other Amazon stuff like Echos. But I’m
starting to see 2-3 of them in houses consuming a constant 5 Mbps each
24x7. I can’t believe that even during the pandemic, people are
watching multiple TVs around the clock, so there must be some
situation where these things are just streaming stuff even if nobody
is watching. They get their power from a separate USB cable so I
don’t think they shut down just because the TV is off. Maybe if you
use them with a live TV streaming service they just stream constantly?

No, we eat the cost, we also do not charge a setup fee. We retain
ownership of the router and mesh, if they cancel we get them back.
Moving to these routers has been one of the best things we did. It
is so easy for my staff to help with in house wifi issues now, and we
never seem to get the my router is locked up call. Most all the
issues are poor signal on firesticks behind the tv on the other side
of the house.

Craig, do you charge for the router as well as the monthly?

Late to this thread, but we have almost 1,000 844e and 200 804
mesh, Chuck, we install the 803g and charge $10 for the 844e
managed wifi solution and include a free 804 mesh if we think they
need it. Our take rate on the managed wifi is above 80% and it
looks like about 20% get a 804.

Equipment availability is definitely a huge problem right now.
Maybe less so for operators that buy a years worth in advance
which I think is how Calix prefers. Shipping 50 at a time is
not their style.
The 15-20k will be integrations with your billing system and
API, plus the setup of the cloud and on boarding for your
techs and support people.
If you don’t plan on doing any integrations you can probably
negotiate that number down.
The price is high but it’s high quality set and forget type
infrastructure. Our support calls went way down when we
started getting these routers in.

Hey guys,
I am trying to get started with them, but keep getting
told them have no equipment that they can sell us at this
time. Been going on for quite a while now.
Looking for the Gigaspire U6’s and or U4’s.
Have been through the presentation including where they
told us it was about $ 15K to $ 20K to get onboarded and
utilize their “success team” required.
Just trying to get going with them, but having access to
the equipment is kinda “a thing”
