Bulk Internet is Smart
With more than 95% of Canadians now paying for broadband services at home (and closer to 100% in many demographics) and with average internet costs now exceeding $74 per month, it’s time for your multi-family property to start buying Internet more intelligently and treating it just as you would other utilities like water, gas, or hydro – buy it in bulk, as a group, or as part of a Connectivity Program.
Bulk Internet for High-Rises
Cloudwifi is the smart option to internet buying that the corporate cable and phone companies don’t want you to know about. Think Costco for telecom – buying Internet in bulk will benefit your residents by saving them big time money! Here’s some bulk Internet pricing examples that your multi-dwelling unit (MDU) may qualify for:
| Bulk Gigabit | Bulk 500 | Bulk 100 |

*bulk pricing based on a minimum commitment of 150 units in your highrise

Get real ROI
A study by RVA LLC Market Research found that fiber optic Internet adds roughly $5,250 to the value of a $300,000 home. Another study found that people are willing to pay an 8 percent premium for apartments that have high speed Internet. With data like this, condos and apartments should be lining up to have fiber optic networks installed at their properties – not just to watch more YouTube and Netflix, but to increase the value of their homes and make their units more marketable.
More than 1,100 cities have asked Google Fiber to build these high-speed networks in their communities, but Google can’t keep up. They will take many years, perhaps even decades, to reach that many communities. Why wait? Cloudwifi will build the high speed connection to your building today!
