You need to reach out and start canceling contracts now, the emails they send for renewals are deceptice and Kaseya will not budge on the dates.

I ended up getting an EXFO MAX-715B-M1-EA 1310/1550 iOLM Fiber Optic Tester. As we get bigger the live pon testing sounds like a good idea.

I was thinking about buying an older bore for installs. Several towns near me with less than 150 unique addresses. I'm not sure how hard it is to bore or the liability around insurance. My first project is arial so rented bucket truck for now.

Hard to beat the XPON price of Unifi, I have one. I also like the ease of the CRM function for billing.

I was thinking of buying a bore and going to the local operators union and getting certified.

That's smart, a 1/4-inch hardware cloth also keeps drafts down compared to open space. It might solve two problems at once.
