This is contrary to what we are being told !

A clause in the proposed Atlantic Broadband contract states ;
 Owner (UCO) agrees that Company has an exclusive right to provide the Services to the Premises during the term of this Agreement and any renewals and that Owner (UCO) will not grant, or allow others to grant, any easement, right-of-way, license or other right of access for the purpose of delivering bulk cable television, bulk pay television, bulk internet, or any other bulk television services for delivery of the Bulk Services during the term of this Agreement. This shall not limit the ability of Owner during the term to grant any easement, right-of-way, license or other right of access for the purpose of delivering bulk cable television, bulk pay television, bulk internet, or any other bulk television services to a subsequent provider of Bulk Services who shall provide Services at the expiration of the term of the Agreement.
This reads that an association cannot negotiate a bulk service rate for the named services which includes Internet access. 
We have been told that anyone wanting to contract their own internet service provider will be free to do so. What is not being said is that residents are to be prevented from getting a bulk rate , which as we understand  AT&T is offering or is going to offer individual buildings and associations once they complete the rewiring they are working on right now.  The AT&T rewiring is an issue that should be brought forth, We have been led to believe that Atlantic broadband is supposed to be doing that. Why would they rewire fiber optic cable when AT&T is already doing it ?
Why the last paragraph stating that CV is free to seek bulk prices on services once the proposed contract expires is a non starter. Once the contract expires Atlantic has no say in what CV does.
It's another unacceptable clause in the proposal . There are many others that are spelled out in detail  thatcan be read in an article published on our website Click here to read the full story
