Question 1

Does Phase 5 provide free internet services?

Accepted Answer

All condo owners have access to basic internet services within their unit and the cost is covered through your condo fees. Internet services are also available in the clubhouse and pool area for your convenience. While this service provides users with adequate coverage for email, web searching, Netflix, etc., it is not adequate for streaming services such as IPTV boxes (Diablo), which requires 5G services.
Should you use streaming services on a regular basis, we recommend that you purchase personal internet services through a local provider.

In order to reduce our overall operational costs to maintain our buildings and common areas, the various Phase 5 Board of Directors may from time to time, request the use of volunteers to carry-out general maintenance of the buildings and common areas. In addition, volunteers are always needed to support the various social activities carried out during the year . If you are able to provide your knowledge and/or assistance in carrying out these tasks, the Boards encourages and appreciates your involvement.
