Whether you use it as a "concession" to add value for renters, or charge for the service through a monthly fee or increased rent structure, you can't afford to consider high-speed internet an optional service—your tenants expect it! Apartment search web sites, such as www.apartments.com, list high-speed internet as an "available feature," not an amenity.

An internet connection at Firestream speed represents freedom and global access for your tenants—even the ability to run home businesses out of their apartments.

Who’s Renting?
Today’s first-time renters include high school graduates, college graduates and newlyweds. Average age: 22. This generation has grown up with computers—high-speed internet, gaming, sharing and streaming data, blogs, personal web pages, text messaging, webcasts, messaging and videoconferencing are part of their everyday lives.

The Power of Choice
Option 1: Offer Firestream Free
Depending on the size of your community, we’ll provide Firestream to you for less than a $1 per day, per unit, with speeds up to 40 times faster than the local residential services. Let your tenants know that since you offer Firestream, they’re saving at least $50 a month - the actual value of the service.

Option 2: Use Firestream to Increase Revenue
You can also pass the cost of Firestream along to your tenants through increased rent or a monthly fee. You decide what to charge your tenants.

Why Your Tenants Need Firestream
Cost:
• On their own, your tenants would pay premium prices every month for internet connections at speeds of 1.5 Mbs to 3 Mbs. If they use DSL they have to PAY for a phone line as well.

• Cable modems require a wired television connection, PLUS basic cable service costing much more with no rate stability.

What Your Tenants Will Acquire
Firestream:
• Connects at speeds up to 40 times faster than standard residential broadband.
• Accomodates Internet and VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) phone services,such as Vonage and Packet 8.
• Allows streaming radio and tv/video
• Offers five free email accounts per unit.
