*nods* I agree. Usually, it's too many spineless people that won't stand up to someone that couldn't make friends in high school.

People always dismiss these issues and say they could easily get service. Then, when someone comes in with an actual request for said service, the answer we get is about structured deals with HOA/property management. What about for a single customer? A single customer who has no sway over an entire HOA, a single customer who is told to go “pound sand” by the property manager. If you can’t give a single figure or even rough numbers for a single customer, I’d say avoid dismissing the problem. If you can provide that now, I’d be very curious to still see them. :) On Wed, Feb 16, 2022 at 7:10 PM, Mike Lyon < mike.l...@gmail.com > wrote: <blockquote> Depends on many factors… If the whole HOA wanted service, then a licensed link could possibly be put in delivering a high capacity circuit delivering about 100 Mbps to the subscriber. Price to the customer would vary depending on how the deal is structured with the HOA/property management company. Could also look into getting some fiber delivered and feed it from that. -Mike <blockquote> On Feb 16, 2022, at 17:02, Cory Sell < corys...@protonmail.com > wrote: </blockquote> <blockquote> Out of pure curiosity, let’s assume they COULD put an antenna on the roof… What is the service? Bandwidth, latency expectation, cost? Note that in almost every condominium or apartment complex I have heard of, they do NOT allow roof builds. This is why satellite TV in those areas require people to put an antenna on their patio, even if it’s half-blocked.

Friend of mine asked me to help them get better Internet connectivity a few weeks ago. They live here: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Meridian+Woods+Condos/@37.3200394,-121.9792261,17.47z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x808fca909a8f5605:0x399cdd468d99300c!8m2!3d37.3190694!4d-121.9818295 Just off of I-280 in the heart of San Jose. I dug and dug, and called different companies. The only service they can get there is the 768K DSL service they already have with AT&T. Go ahead. Try it for yourself. See what service you can order to those condos. Heart of Silicon Valley. Worse connectivity than many rural areas. :( Matt </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote>
