What Every HOA Board Should Know Before Signing a Bulk Telecom Contract

When exploring a bulk telecommunications agreement for your community, the fine print matters just as much as the price.
A well-structured contract protects your community’s interests, ensures accountability, and eliminates future surprises. Here are key contract requirements to keep top of mind during your decision-making process:
What’s Actually Guaranteed?
- Are service reliability metrics clearly defined, measurable, and reported?
- Are there financial penalties for the provider if they fail to deliver on service promises?
Are Monthly Fees Transparent?
- Are all taxes, fees, and charges clearly detailed in the contract?
- Are rate increases outlined upfront for the entire term?
- Does the contract prohibit hidden or new fees from being added later?
What’s the Contract Duration & Flexibility?
- Do free months or promotional offers extend the actual contract term?
- Can TV services be dropped if most residents prefer to stream?
- As technology evolves, are service upgrades included in your agreement?
Pro Tip:
Always ask for a contract template during the RFP process. This ensures that what’s promised during sales conversations is reflected in the final agreement.
