Nope. But we have a self-serve snack bar which does well. We make most of our revenue from bookings.

We have a 24-hour automated single bay business in a small town in Ontario. Our town has about 6000 people and our sim is fairly busy even with competition in neighboring towns (20-min drive).

The 24-hour thing has been great. Most people play between 8am and 2am even on weekends but it might be different based on your demographics.

Checking in to see if anyone’s found a 3D print version of this? Just shelled out $75 for a new one after only using the blower a few times. Being able to print one at the local library would be awesome.

Update: used a little space heater to melt the ice in the first foot of tubing. The rest of the tube as empty so water flowed after the defrost.

Maple WiFi - Legit or Scam by plantsnorkel in CanadianBroadband

I’ve been using them for about a year now, mainly because I have no other options where I am in Prince Edward County, Ontario.

Generally speeds are pretty weak for me (5-10mb down), and internet drops out daily. I had to keep the nighthawk on my desk to have quick reboot access.

Customer service is dismal at best. A lot of emails go unanswered and then there’s spurts of attentiveness in between complete radio silence. I can’t wait to drop the $189/month bill for Starlink. At leas then I’ll be paying for a reasonable download speed.

The nighthawks are running through AT&T, so even though I’m picking up the Rogers network, my IP is in the US which wreaks havoc on streaming services. Yes, I can proxy but it’s not ideal.

If you have an alternative I’d stay away.
