Replacing Old Wiring With New Coax or Fiber: The coaxial or copper wiring installed in your community 20–30 years ago may have been sufficient for the low-bandwidth video and data services of the time—but it often falls short of today’s residential communication demands. In some cases, older wiring can still perform adequately if well-maintained and over short distances. However, more often than not, aging infrastructure simply cannot support the bandwidth required for hundreds of HD channels and 10 Gbps+ internet. Outdated wiring often results in visible service issues, such as picture freezing, pixelation, and unreliable internet connectivity. These problems frustrate residents—no one wants poor TV quality or internet that fails when they need it most. For rental properties, slow or inconsistent internet is among the top resident complaints and is a leading cause of non-renewed leases. In associations, unit owners cannot easily escape the problem, making it even more critical to address. In short, wiring deficiencies must be identified and resolved to meet modern expectations and future-proof your community. At Broadband Agreement Specialists, Inc., we work closely with service providers to plan and negotiate complete rewiring of properties and communities with state-of-the-art fiber infrastructure, installed directly to each residential unit. This approach eliminates reliance on outdated coax or copper wiring entirely—enabling class-leading internet and TV services, dramatically improving reliability and performance, and ensuring your community is prepared for future technological advancements. We advocate on your behalf to include this full fiber-to-the-unit upgrade as a contractual commitment within your new agreement—providing residents with the superior services they expect while protecting the long-term value of your property.
Full-Service Concierge Consulting Firm & Performance-Based Compensation: Broadband Agreement Specialists, Inc. is a full-service, concierge telecommunications consulting firm with decades of experience helping residential communities nationwide. We save our clients countless hours of time and effort by managing the entire process—from negotiation to implementation—while securing significant financial savings and improved services over the life of the agreements. Our focus is on delivering class-leading services for residents while optimizing the financial terms for property owners. In most cases, we also negotiate substantial upfront compensation—commonly referred to as “door fees” or “signing bonuses”—which can provide an immediate financial windfall for your community. Beyond the initial negotiation, we continue to support our clients throughout the term of their agreements, assisting with issues like billing disputes, service interruptions, and even resolving maintenance problems—such as unburied orange cable wires that the provider hasn’t addressed. We work directly with the service providers to get it resolved—quickly and efficiently. As a concierge consulting firm, Broadband Agreement Specialists, Inc. typically earns a contingency-based fee tied to the total savings and compensation value of the negotiated agreement. This performance-based model ensures a mutually beneficial partnership, aligning our success with yours and incentivizing us to negotiate maximum value for your community.
Unlike consulting firms that are paid their total compensation upfront and are no where to be found when you later have a problem or issue, our client partner relationships are long-term, and we're here to assist when needed over the life of your service agreement.
Your community is a valuable source of revenue for telecom service providers. Let us help you secure the most advanced services, at the most competitive rates, with “up-front” compensation. Call us today for a free consultation at 954.889.1967, toll-free at 1.877.826.1625, or complete the Information Request Form. We will respond to you promptly to discuss potential service and agreement options for your community.
