In today’s hyper-connected world, fast and reliable internet is no longer a luxury - it’s a necessity. Nowhere is this more evident than in high-density housing, where dozens or even hundreds of residents depend on seamless connectivity for work, education, healthcare, and entertainment. Yet many multi-dwelling units (MDUs) across the U.S. still suffer from poor broadband infrastructure, and the consequences go far beyond slow speeds.

At Utilities One Group, our Fulfillment and Wireline divisions work hand-in-hand to tackle this critical issue - empowering property owners, ISPs, and residents with solutions that are scalable, cost-efficient, and built to last.

The True Cost of Poor Connectivity

When broadband networks fall short in high-density environments, the ripple effects are both financial and operational:

• Tenant Turnover: According to a 2023 National Multifamily Housing Council survey, 88% of residents consider broadband internet the most important amenity - more than parking or in-unit laundry. Poor service leads to dissatisfaction and increased tenant churn.

• ISP Strain: Service providers in underwired buildings face high maintenance costs and customer service complaints - resulting in lost revenue and damaged reputations.

• Inefficient Upgrades: Without a unified infrastructure strategy, retrofits become expensive and disruptive, often requiring multiple visits, rewiring, or forced outages.
