If you are a condo, townhome, or private single family home community you should ALWAYS have one of two agreements in place with broadband providers.

Bulk Agreement:

Bulk is when cable or internet for the residents is handled through the association.  The association pays one bill to the provider, and all of the residents use the same cable or internet service.

Right of Entry Agreement:

This agreement gives permission for the provider wires that are already on your property to stay and puts guidelines around what the provider can and cannot do while on your property.  

What is most important for you to know about Right of Entry agreements:

  • Right of Entry agreements have absolutely no effect on the resident’s cable and internet service. A homeowner will see no difference after this agreement is signed, and they will continue to be able to choose whomever they like for their service. It does not stop any other providers from coming into the community (e.g., U-Verse, Google Fiber, etc.).

  • We do not represent the cable company. We represent the association and are only paid by the association. We will inform you of all provider options based on who is available in your community and help you make an informed decision.

  • Broadband Planning negotiates on behalf of the association to maximize the compensation owed to your community.

  • There are no upfront costs. Broadband Planning is paid a percentage of the compensation we negotiate for the community and our increased negotiating power fully covers our percentage.

I have been the President of Cascade Parc for three years.  Our community association manager, Kiva Brewer, first told us about Broadband Planning.  We were skeptical at first since it seemed highly illogical that a company would just “give away” that amount of money.  Then, we talked it over as a board, and our Vice President of Finance presented a logical solution as to why we should take part in this opportunity.

We feel going with Broadband Planning was a win-win for everyone.  We spent the money on improvements in our community. The experience has been wonderful, and there have been absolutely no issues or complaints. Our experience with Broadband has been smooth and phenomenal.  Broadband Planning is great!

For five years, I have served as the President of Thornwood Park Homeowners Association.  Sonja Johansen, our property manager, told me about Broadband Planning and said it was easy money.  I was cautious at first. When I spoke with Broadband Planning, they told me exactly what the agreement was about in layman’s terms and how our community would be affected.  Because it sounded too good to be true, the other board members talked to Broadband too.  I was happy that Broadband answered the phone every time I called them.  

I read the information in detail that was emailed to me and I was able to hear a live voice that answered all my questions concerning the Comcast agreement.  I am now very happy as we have additional funds to maintain our community.  With the money we received, we bought new mailboxes for the community for $16,000 and we have the other funds stored for future capital expenditures.  We have had no issues with the process, and nothing has changed with Comcast. No homeowners have had any issues and they are still free to select whatever cable provider they wish.  With Broadband Planning, the board didn’t have to do anything except sign some papers and Broadband Planning did the rest. There was no wasted time spent chasing documents or gathering additional information. This was an easy process and I am so glad we took advantage of this opportunity.
