How do landlords make money with MDU Internet?

Landlords earn revenue through our partnership model. Depending on the arrangement, property owners receive either a monthly revenue share from tenant subscriptions, a bulk rate discount they can mark up, or a per-door monthly payment. The exact structure depends on building size and service model chosen.

Who handles tenant support and billing?

Boston Fiber handles everything. We manage tenant signups, billing, technical support, and service calls. Landlords have zero involvement in day-to-day operations. When tenants have issues, they contact us.. not you.

What does the landlord have to do?

Almost nothing after initial setup. Landlords provide building access for installation and sign an agreement. Once the network is installed, Boston Fiber manages everything. You collect revenue without lifting a finger.

Is there any cost to the landlord?

In most cases, Boston Fiber covers the cost of installation and equipment in exchange for an exclusive service agreement. For smaller buildings or special situations, cost-sharing arrangements may apply. We design each partnership to be financially beneficial for property owners.

What types of buildings qualify for MDU Internet?

MDU Internet is available for apartment buildings, condominiums, student housing, senior living facilities, and mixed-use commercial properties. Buildings typically need 10+ units to qualify, though we evaluate each property individually.

Can MDU Internet increase my property value?

Yes. High-speed internet is consistently ranked as one of the top amenities renters look for. Buildings with reliable, fast internet command higher rents, experience lower vacancy rates, and are more attractive to prospective tenants. Its a competitive advantage that pays dividends.
