Florida has more association-governed housing than almost anywhere in the country — and Florida law already contemplates buying internet as a community. Here is what that means for your budget and your NOI.
Florida is a genuinely competitive telecom market. AT&T Fiber, Spectrum, Comcast Xfinity, and Frontier all operate at scale across the state, and Florida is unusual in also having strong regional fiber operators — Blue Stream Fiber and Summit Broadband — that build specifically for communities rather than for single households. When several networks can reach the same address, they compete for the building, and that competition is your leverage.






What sets Florida apart is not the carriers, though — it is the buildings. Condominium and homeowner associations govern an enormous share of Florida housing, from Gulf Coast mid-rises to Central Florida master-planned communities to the towers along the southeast coast. Those are exactly the properties where one building-wide agreement replaces hundreds of individual retail bills.

Get the Free ChecklistWe work with owners, managers, and boards across the state — in South Florida across Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach, up the Gulf coast through Naples, Fort Myers, Sarasota, Tampa, and St. Petersburg, and inland and north through Orlando and Jacksonville. If your property sits anywhere in Florida, we can map exactly what is available at that address.
Florida is one of the few states where the statutes speak directly to this. Under Chapter 718, the cost of communications, information, and internet services obtained under a bulk contract can be treated as a common expense where the declaration provides for it. The statute also sets expectations around contract length and the membership's ability to cancel. That is a meaningful head start compared with states where a board has to reason from first principles.
It also matters right now. Florida associations are working through structural reserve study and reserve funding requirements on a compressed timeline, and many boards are looking hard at every recurring line item. A bulk agreement does not fund reserves and we would never suggest otherwise. What it does is lower what residents pay each month for service they are already buying — which is worth real goodwill at exactly the moment assessments are under pressure.
Our board’s guide to Chapter 718 bulk agreements walks through the declaration requirement, the minimum term, and the membership’s cancellation right in detail.
One caveat, stated plainly: the language in your declaration governs, and this page is general information rather than legal advice. Every association should have counsel review a bulk agreement before signing. We are happy to work alongside your attorney and your manager.
Bulk internet means the property or association contracts a single building-wide service at a wholesale rate, instead of leaving every resident to buy retail on their own. Residents get faster, cheaper service from day one; the property earns a recurring share of the plan; and because the carrier funds the infrastructure, there is no capital outlay. We stay vendor-neutral — we are not owned by any carrier — so our only job is to map every network that reaches your Florida address and bring you the strongest offer available.
It depends on your exact address, but most Florida properties can reach some combination of AT&T Fiber, Spectrum, Comcast Xfinity, Frontier, Blue Stream Fiber, and Summit Broadband. We check every provider that already serves your building and negotiate among them, so you are never locked to a single carrier's pricing.
Florida law contemplates it where the declaration provides for it, which is why the declaration is the first document we ask to see. If the language is not there, an amendment is often possible. Have your association's counsel confirm what applies to your community before you commit.
No. The carrier funds the network build, and our brokerage is performance-based. Your property earns a recurring share with no upfront capital — see the full cost breakdown, or read how the process works end to end.

A South Florida bulk internet comparison should start with the community address and the current agreement. Ask each provider to price the same unit count, included equipment, support scope and installation responsibilities. Availability and construction requirements can differ between buildings, even within the same city.
Use our Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach pages for the relevant local review. For a condominium association, pair that review with the Florida condo guide and board decision checklist.
Apartment owners can start with multifamily bulk internet. Associations can review HOA internet programs. Before requesting proposals, collect the current contract and use the renewal checklist to identify the decision deadline.
