Comcast's in the building. That's one option.
A property manager in Greater Boston often has one internet path into the building: Comcast. Tenants ask for a second choice. The building wants something that doesn't wait on a street build. That's the job.
We're a local ISP. We put a radio on the roof or exterior and hand off ethernet for the building or a suite. Different path than cable. We serve the address if we can. We are not a replacement for every Comcast product.
What we actually do
Internet for the building, or for the suites that need it.
- A second path beside Comcast. Rooftop or exterior wireless. Ethernet in the closet.
- The building or the suite. Common-area circuit, a specific floor, or a tenant that wants their own service.
- Typical install 1-2 weeks from a signed order where we can serve the address. No street trench.
- We hand off internet. We don't run tenant Wi-Fi. We don't do much inside their LAN.
Published Boston ranges are on Boston business internet and business internet pricing: business broadband from $199/mo, dedicated from $399/mo, install typically $199-$499.
If you want the cable-vs-rooftop comparison, that's Comcast Business vs Netafy in Boston.
How the job runs
- Send the address. Building address, and which suites if you already know.
- We check coverage. Can we see a Netafy signal from the roof or exterior? If it's a miss, we say so.
- Install. Radio goes up, ethernet hits the closet. Typical published Boston install is 1-2 weeks from a signed order.
- You keep Comcast if you want it. We're a second option, not a forced rip-out.
When this is the wrong tool
If cable's already live on a floor and the product you were quoted actually meets the need, stay on it. That's in the Comcast comparison.
If one office has a go-live and fiber is still a construction wait, the single-suite version is Boston office internet before fiber.
If the problem is several warehouses and one bill, see managed WAN for logistics.
What to send us
Building address, which suites if you know them, whether this is for the building or a specific tenant, and when you need it live. Use the Boston quote form, not the home availability checker. Call 877-412-9434 if that's faster.
