+- We are currently [operating out of 8 regions and 20 data centres](https://status.ably.com/), so expect extremely low latencies and 100% redundancy. See our [status website](https://status.ably.com/) for an overview of our regions and latencies.
+
+- Our [support centre is up and running](https://ably.com/support). If you have any questions or need help with testing an integration, get in touch and we’ll get back to you very quickly.
+
+- We have some [straightforward examples](https://ably.com/examples) you can try out in your browser, see the Ably realtime examples on our website
+
+- We have both [realtime and REST client libraries](https://github.com/ably) in every popular language, see our [Ably Github account](https://github.com/ably) for a complete list, including Javascript, Node.js, Java and Android, Go, iOS, Ruby, PHP, Python etc.

+Lob is a fun labs project demonstration of the amazing realtime capabilities of the modern web. The realtime data streaming from a phone to the lob dashboard is powered by Ably. Lob was built jointly as a labs project by Workshop14.io and Ably.

+
+We now offer [Enterprise packages](https://ably.com/blog/enterprise-packages-13599fc87432)  for our more demanding customers
+
+Ably’s value proposition is simple:
+
+- A generous free tier — we want to get developers up and running quickly and continue to help micro businesses when they are starting out
+
+- Fair pricing — pay for what you use, we won’t force you to sign up to obscure pricing tiers. Our paid packages start at $9.99 a month.
+
+- Transparent pricing — clearly see what you’re paying for such as messages published/subscribed or peak connections
+
+- Complete feature set —our free and self-service packages include all the features most customers need to use our service into the foreseeable future. We don’t charge you more for features like history, token authentication, push notifications and encryption that we know you’ll need
+
+- Self-service — we are an online PaaS business and our economies of scale come from automating as much as possible. By providing a self-service option to our customers, we are able to remove sales people from the equation and pass on those savings to our customers. This does not mean we don’t provide human-driven support though, we’re huge advocates of talking and helping customers to use Ably.
