Hi Jay, Crimmony, what a discount they give to Shaw. I was just up to PEI and the exchange rate was .43 on the dollar. -Shaw pays his company approx $60 CDN per install -T pays approx $180 USD per install. So in US dollars Shaw pays them only $34.20 while T gets hosed for $180. Yikes. Somehow something does not appear to add up here. If this is the case and I were the company president, I'd be in America, EXCLUSIVELY, with all my crews raking in the big bucks. Not to be greedy, but to avoid being stupid. Nicely done though, thank you very much for the information.

Sorry to amend your note, but Att doesn't expend $180 per install. That guy is serving you up what he'd like to believe. I'm not at liberty to divulge what the actual average cost is, and I'm not sure how current my figure is, but it's substantially less, and it has gotten lower because the crews have gotten more efficient. Also, two man crews are no longer needed unless special circumstances arise. The area commander determines the tech per call based on the prevailing trend. You should tell him that an Att installer disagrees with his figure and ask him where he got that figure.
