FAQs

Bulk internet is a type of service option for multifamily properties where an internet service provider sells wholesale “bulk” internet service to a property owner, manager, or HOA at a significantly discounted rate in exchange for a minimum number of committed units.
Bulk internet is discounted significantly from the normal retail cost of home internet service. As a result, property owners, managers, and HOAs are able to earn significant revenue by reselling internet service as an amenity fee or HOA fee and marking up the wholesale “bulk” rate charged by service providers. Alternatively, service may be provided to residents at the fully discounted bulk rate with no markup as a leasing or sales incentive.
While it varies, we typically see property owners, managers, and HOAs earn between $360-$600 of net operating income (NOI) per unit annually. Hum can also increase NOI over traditional bulk deals by as much as 10%.

Community WiFi generally utilizes a one speed tier, single building wide network that residents and guests connect to. This one size fits all approach often leads to service issues as resident internet connected devices can accidentally roam to WiFi access points outside of their unit. Hum enables dedicated in-unit connectivity with multiple service options (incremental revenue) AND support for building wide network use cases like common area WiFi, WiFi calling, smart building systems, and corporate networks.
