"A single customer who has no sway over an entire HOA"
If you can't sway the whole HOA, then the problem must not be that bad.

See this is my point. 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. :)

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.-MikeOn Feb 16, 2022, at 17:02, Cory Sell <corysell@protonmail.com> wrote: 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.On Wed, Feb 16, 2022 at 6:51 PM, Mike Lyon <mike.lyon@gmail.com> wrote:If they allow antennas on the roof, we can service them :)Your house, on the other hand, we already lucked out on that one!-Mike LyonRidge WirelessOn Feb 16, 2022, at 16:48, Matthew Petach <mpetach@netflight.com> wrote:On Wed, Feb 16, 2022 at 1:16 PM Josh Luthman <josh@imaginenetworksllc.com> wrote:I'll once again please ask for specific examples as I continue to see the generic "it isn't in some parts of San Jose".You want a specific example?
Friend of mine asked me to help them get better Internet connectivity a few weeks ago.They live here: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
