Bulk Cable & Internet Agreements for HOAs and Community Associations

Bulk telecommunications agreements allow HOAs and community associations to offer Cable TV and high-speed Internet services to all residents at discounted, community-wide rates. By negotiating with Internet Service Providers (ISPs) as a unified group, associations can enhance service quality, reduce costs, and modernize their telecom infrastructure.

What Is a Bulk Telecom Agreement?

A bulk telecom agreement is a contract between a community association and an ISP that delivers services—such as Internet, Wi-Fi, and Cable TV—to 100% of residents. These agreements turn telecom into a valuable amenity, boosting resident satisfaction and property value. Communities gain stronger negotiating power by bundling services across all units, often securing better terms, faster speeds, and exclusive perks.

Different Bulk Agreements

Bulk Cable TV

The community association negotiates a bulk rate for Cable TV services, allowing all residents to access these services at a discounted price. Despite the growing popularity of streaming, bulk Cable TV agreements can still provide competitive rates compared to using multiple streaming services, often resulting in greater affordability and a wider range of viewing content. YFi Advisors recommends negotiating contractual flexibility for longer-term bulk Cable TV agreements to ensure the best value and adaptability.

Bulk Internet Service

The community association negotiates a bulk rate for Internet and Wi-Fi services, enabling the ISP to provide internet access to all residents at a significantly reduced price. Offering Internet service as an amenity is unique, as it may be one of the few amenities residents use daily. By leveraging the community's collective bargaining power, better service quality and contract terms can be secured. This agreement may also lead to an enhanced Fiber Optics network infrastructure, improving reliability and potentially increasing home values.

While many community associations negotiate for including both bulk Cable TV and Internet services, we understand that each community has its own unique vision. YFi Advisors is here to provide a comprehensive analysis of all available options, tailoring solutions to best suit your community's needs.
