As a member of an HOA board with 7 builds and 13 units, is there a reasonable way to go about setting up a common conduit system so any ISP could come in? Currently only Comcast had run lines with the original building of the property and of course didn't trench properly so no other ISP could come in.
Has anyone done this before?
- jdavis703 10y agoIt's done in my building. Gigabit Ethernet is run to each unit. The ISP (Comcast or Webpass) will then hook up the correct wires that are in the basement.
- colejohnson66 10y agoIsn't it just connecting a coax cable to the wires underground?
- mey 10y agoNot for Fiber
- pyvpx 10y agoyou designate an MPOE (minimum point of entry) and then have cabling/conduit installed from the MPOE to units/residences/NIDs. then your HOA owns the "inside wiring" and, with the right amount of lawyer magic, each unit can own/control the destiny of the cable/wire/conduit that goes from the MPOE to them. then the real trick is getting the ISP you want to play ball. I know of a few instances where Comcast just won't entertain the setup whatsoever. Unfortunately, in telecommunications, largess is the name of the game...
- mey 10y agoAwesome, thanks for giving me the term to further research. There is at least one other ISP that doesn't have access to the property plus in theory Google Fiber should be coming to town (PDX) so I expect this issue is going to become more pressing.
