Communities and developments
10 Gig as the recommended standard for every home.
Fiber for apartments, HOAs, master-planned and new single-family communities anywhere in Texas. Residents subscribe directly, or the property buys service in bulk and includes it. 1 Gig bulk service is also available.
Two ways to pay for it
Residents subscribe, or the property does.
Different arrangements with different commitments. Neither is automatically better, and the calculator below shows what the bulk arrangement would contribute.
Residents subscribe individually
Each home is our customer on the same residential terms as anyone else, month to month with no contract. The property commits access and pathways rather than revenue, and residents keep their no-contract protection whatever the property signs.
The property buys in bulk
Choose 1 Gig or 10 Gig for the community. The property pays for the contracted units at a per-unit rate and decides how the cost is included in rent, dues, or a resident charge. Residents can ask about a qualified upgrade where the property supports it. Bulk arrangements carry a term — that is the trade for the rate, and the proposal says so plainly.
See what bulk fiber could contribute to your property.
Compare 1 Gig and 10 Gig bulk internet using your community’s unit count and an example resident charge. Nothing here needs your contact details.
Every contracted unit is billed at the bulk rate, whether or not it is occupied.

How this is calculated
Modeled resident collections, less Lucky Fiber’s bulk service charge for every contracted unit, less the other monthly costs you enter. The annual figure is the monthly one times twelve.
Collections are rounded once, to the nearest cent, so the four figures above agree if you subtract them by hand. A negative result is shown as negative.
Not modeled: one-time construction, financing and taxes. Actual results depend on paying units, collections, equipment, operating costs and your community agreement.
Bulk service is a property-paid arrangement, separate from residents subscribing directly. What a community may charge residents depends on its own agreements and the rules that apply to it.
How it is built
Pathways around your community. A fiber of your own for every home.
We design fiber pathways around your community, with a dedicated fiber connection to each home or unit. Nobody's connection runs through a neighbour's, and nothing is split between homes.
An existing property
- We survey what is already installed. Sometimes existing pathways carry a new build cheaply; sometimes they genuinely do not.
- Work is phased around residents, with agreed access windows, and we restore what we disturb.
- If your current agreement has exclusivity or marketing terms, tell us early — it changes what is possible and when.
A new development
- We coordinate with your civil schedule so conduit goes in with everything else rather than being cut in afterwards.
- Pathways are designed for what the community will want later, not only for first occupancy.
- Common areas — clubhouses, leasing offices, amenity spaces — are on the same design, and managed home Wi-Fi can be scoped per property.
Funding and terms
Terms follow the investment.
The more of the construction we fund, the longer the term we need to make it work. Your per-home rate reflects the size of the community, what is already in the ground, how much construction we fund, and the length of the term — all four in writing, with a firm number against them.
What a proposal sets out
- The recurring amount per home, and exactly what it includes
- Which equipment is included and which is extra
- Any construction contribution, and who pays which part
- How contracted units are counted, including units that are vacant
- Phased activation for homes not yet built or occupied, and how billing follows it
- The term, and what happens at the end of it
Beyond the connection
Managed home Wi-Fi and additional access points, common-area connectivity, construction coordination to your civil and electrical schedule, and restoration written into the scope — each priced per property rather than assumed. Alarm and physical security for common areas and homes is work we hold a Texas license for: Security & alarm services.
Substantial construction is handled under a separate construction agreement alongside the service agreement, so ownership, acceptance and maintenance are written down rather than implied.
Funding structures and typical starting termsStarting points for a conversation about your project, not a price list.

| Resident subscriptions | Lucky Fiber, recovered through resident subscriptions | Month to month for each resident |
| Bulk on suitable existing infrastructure | Little or no new construction needed | From three years |
| Shared investment | Split between the property and Lucky Fiber | Three to five years |
