I wish I could have used them, but was quoted £250 to have a Helium Hotspot installed on my roof. This involved in removing my old unused TV aerial, and replacing it with a 40cm hotspot antenna. The pole was already available and very well attached.Right now Helium payout are so low, that it is going to take 3 or more years just to break even on paying for (Helium Miner, Antenna, LMR Cable, Installation). To cover the £250 installation alone I would need a year.The charge should be the same as a normal TV Aerial installation, unless they are also conducting a coaxial line test to see SNR, RSSI levels and come around to perform a measurement first, so that you can get the correct length LMR cable. Every extra foot of cable affects your transmission quality and actual earnings. At 2.5cm thickness, every extra bit of cable is an eyesore too.They were very friendly and professional but definitely a rip-off for what I needed. Not sure if this is how much they charge for any other aerial/antenna installation.
