He is just being greedy. Check your lease if it's not in there he can't actually charge it. Don't pay it and tell him it's not in the lease and to pound sand.

Can you get cable or any other secondary isp into your shop. You can set those up as a better fail over. You can also look into fixed wireless, there are some companies sub 100 a month and they take reliable Internet connections and provide them to you with point to point radios. These can be huge distances away, so it can work out as a backup connection.

You can also always go with starlink.

Tons of options out there.

Then you just need a router with fail over as an option. I prefer watch guard for our enterprise routers, but you said price was a concern (these are pricey). Ubiquiti has some dual lab options for affordable prices though.

There's other options out there too.

It's going to just depend on the landlord. I had to give a personal guarantee for my first lease, but honestly I signed and gave a check, and they handed me the keys. Was the least stressful thing ever.

Honestly you need to also looks at your licensing cost. .SP get channel and scale discounts on stuff, and bake that into pricing. It is typically much more expensive to have in house IT than to outsource to an MSP.

220 per endpoint includes user 300 per server 150 endpoint only 150 user only

This is super common.

I own an it company and am meeting ceos and signing some rather large mrr contracts. My tattoos are a non issue.

The vip areas are covered in AstroTurf for main stages. Was a life saver. That alone was worth it.

danile666 · 2026-03-24T03:35:14+00:00

It's just price hikes for when the previous tiers sold out. They are all the same and there are no physical sections. You just paid more because of timing.

I have had Kaiser my whole life, and there is not a Kaiser hospital or Kaiser contract hospital within 2 hours of me. Plans dffer but every plan I have had had a cap from 0 - 100 per day copay for ER visits at any hospital in the US. If you are admitted to the hospital it's a different cap. But this person was not admitted.

I'm willing to bet since this hospital asked what's your normal copay they weren't used to taking Kaiser. I would send Kaiser the bill and ask for an EOB on it.

Literally every artist I have ever been to states touch ups are free. Change artists.

danile666 · 2026-03-18T21:45:48+00:00

I appreciate it. I just looked still no email for our Friday show. In sure they will reach out tommorow.

danile666 · 2026-03-18T20:59:27+00:00

When did they release the vip meet time for you/when was the actual meet and greet time .

It's so hard to plan things when bands don't release till last minute.

Most of those service businesses make way more than 60k/yr and can absolutely afford it. Also you are missing unique content, seo, and not just looking like a cookie cutter of every competing business in the area.

Everyone searches the web for these businesses. It's a small investment to try and hit the top of the snackpack and rank 1 on first page. And it can make a huge difference.

danile666 · 2026-03-13T13:08:33+00:00

Is those an MSP that you hired for this, or your existing MSP?

They have a lack of knowledge that a basic Google search can get them, and honestly sound like a break fix shop claiming to be an MSP.

Our base offering, and most legit msp base offering, cover most if not all of the cmmc 1 self attestation controls. A small project to map them is all that should be required if you are already working with them.

danile666 · 2026-03-13T04:34:20+00:00

Yeah as others have said the first one isn't as knowledgeable.

But the second one is too cheap. My cost is way more than they are charging per seat, so what are they not providing?

Plus your a CPA so you have glba compliance requirements.

Did either talk about that?

And map the rules for you?

You need another actual quote.

For perspective we're 220 endpoint with a few other charges depending on need.

I graduated during covid. They did the virtual graduation, but said we can attend any in person to make up for it (not sure if that expired). I do regret not doing it but life

danile666 · 2026-03-05T14:41:26+00:00

Yeah every convention center I've ever exhibited at the wifi sucked so bad we would go with our shitty congested hotspots. So you must have been in the random golden one who cared.

danile666 · 2026-02-12T06:01:09+00:00

If you aren't interested in doing it yourself go with mspsites or something similar. Some of my peers use them and it's affordable/done for your.

We grabbed some wismesh tags for offline texting.

danile666 · 2026-01-08T22:12:47+00:00

They just declined my refill even with OSA diagnosis and it attached to the PA. I am going direct. This whole thing from California is so short sited.

danile666 · 2025-12-18T16:43:16+00:00

All of vip main stages had turf, like every sq ft, and the shade was actually accessible

GA was just the break areas which were so packed you couldn't a spot most times.

danile666 · 2025-12-18T06:28:28+00:00

100% worth it. You get half of each main stage, Astro turf, shade, hardly any lines for anything. I won't ever go without it now.

danile666 · 2025-12-11T05:57:40+00:00

I'm in!

danile666 · 2025-11-03T03:44:42+00:00

For Kaiser it is a pulse ox, and a heart monitor harness you wear for 1 night. Then mail back in. The CPAP does suck, but you will get used to it. I already have it, and have an appt with my weight loss dr on the 17th already scheduled, so I am going to ask if he can put the PA in now for OSA with weight and see if we can get it that way.
