North Carolina has an unusually layered carrier map. Spectrum covers most of the state's metros, AT&T Fiber has built aggressively in Charlotte and the Triangle, Brightspeed — headquartered in Charlotte — holds the incumbent wireline territory across much of the state and is expanding fiber through the Triangle and the Triad, and Optimum serves communities in the west. Overlapping footprints mean more than one network can usually reach a building, and that is where negotiating leverage comes from.
The other North Carolina story is supply. Charlotte and Raleigh–Durham have absorbed years of sustained apartment construction, and the Triad is following. In a market where a renter touring three comparable communities in an afternoon is normal, included high-speed internet is one of the few amenities that is immediately obvious, immediately valuable, and difficult for a competitor to match on short notice.
Why North Carolina works for bulk telecom
- AT&T Fiber, Spectrum, Brightspeed, and Optimum competing across overlapping territory — real leverage on pricing and revenue share
- Heavy new supply in Charlotte and the Triangle, where amenity differentiation drives lease-up velocity
- Active fiber expansion statewide, which means carriers are actively bidding for buildings
- $120–$220 per unit per year in NOI, at no capital cost to the owner
Markets we serve
We work with owners, managers, and developers across the state — Charlotte, Raleigh, and Durham in the Triangle, the Triad markets of Greensboro and Winston-Salem, and the coast around Wilmington. If your property sits anywhere in North Carolina, we can map exactly what is available at that address.
Plan telecom before the building opens
North Carolina's development pipeline is the reason we push this point harder here than almost anywhere else. The best bulk agreements are negotiated before construction finishes — while conduit paths, the point of entry, and riser design are still on paper and still cheap to change. A carrier evaluating a building it can serve cleanly bids differently than one facing a retrofit.
Getting this right also means the property opens with connectivity as a live amenity on day one, rather than signing residents who have already arranged their own service and have no reason to switch. If you have a project underway, our new development and build-to-rent guidance covers where telecom fits in the schedule.
What a bulk agreement means for your property
Bulk internet means the property 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 the day they move in; the property earns a recurring share of the plan; and because the carrier funds the infrastructure, there is no capital outlay from the owner. We stay vendor-neutral — we are not owned by any carrier — so our only job is to map every network that reaches your North Carolina address and bring you the strongest offer available.
North Carolina bulk internet — common questions
Which carriers can I choose from in North Carolina?
It depends on your exact address, but most North Carolina properties can reach some combination of AT&T Fiber, Spectrum, Brightspeed, and Optimum. We check every provider that already serves your building and negotiate among them, so you are never locked to a single carrier's pricing.
We are still under construction. Is it too early?
It is the ideal time. Involving us before the point of entry and riser design are finalized gives carriers a cleaner build to bid on, which usually improves the terms — and it means the community opens with the amenity already in place.
Does a bulk agreement cost the property anything?
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.
