Frequently Asked Questions
Fiber ISP rooftop economics?
Fiber ISPs (Verizon, AT&T Fiber, Google Fiber, local fiber providers): pay buildings for equipment rooms + building access to serve tenants. Payment: (1) Flat monthly rent $500-3,000, (2) Revenue share of tenant internet 10-25%, (3) Setup fee $5-25k. Dense urban multifamily: multiple ISPs compete. Rural/suburban: fewer options.
Bulk vs individual service?
Bulk deal: building-wide internet bundled into rent. All tenants get internet. Landlord pays ISP $30-80/unit/mo, marks up rent $50-150/unit. Net revenue $20-70/unit/mo ($50-168/yr per unit). Individual: tenants choose, ISP pays building access fee. Flexibility but lower revenue. Bulk is growing trend — modern Class A expectation.
Wiring standard?
Most new construction: fiber-to-the-unit (FTTU) standard. Copper (Cat-5/6 ethernet): legacy, still common. Hybrid: fiber to MDF closet, copper within unit. Building ownership: fiber wiring belongs to building or ISP (contract-dependent). Multi-tenant-provider capable: building wired to support 2-4 ISPs. Avoids lock-in.
Tenant internet expectations?
Gigabit internet standard now. $60-100/mo residential gigabit. Fiber enables: streaming, work-from-home, cloud services. Tenants view as utility, not amenity.
