Better internet for your community
If your community has slow or unreliable internet, and especially if your utilities are underground, the fix usually starts below the surface. JWSR handles the project from start to finish: the plan, the conduit, the agreements, the permits, the internet provider connection and the cleanup.
JWSR LLC helps North Jersey HOAs and communities with poor internet get better service. We plan and design the project, install the conduit by boring and trenching, handle access and right-of-way agreements, pull the permits, work with one of our Internet Service Provider partners to bring service in, and restore lawns and pavement. We have placed over 1,100,000 feet of conduit. Call 862-268-2510 to request a community internet assessment.
No poles, no easy way in
In a community with buried utilities, there are no poles to hang new cable from. An internet provider that would like to serve you has to put cable in the ground, which means conduit, permission to cross common property and sometimes roads, permits and a lot of digging. That can be a hard sell for a single community, which is one reason the internet stays slow.
Conduit is the empty pipe that makes it possible. Put it in once and any provider can pull cable through it, now or later. Building conduit is what we do. We have placed over 1,100,000 feet of it, including a Hamburg, NJ build of 18,000 feet of conduit and more than 220 homes, where putting the lawns back was as much the job as the digging. See how that build went.
The whole project, start to finish
Planning and design
We walk the community, look at what is underground, and lay out a route for the conduit that reaches the homes with the least disturbance.
Installing the conduit
Boring under driveways, roads and walkways, and trenching where the ground allows it. Conduit goes in once, so future cable is a pull and not another dig.
Access and right-of-way agreements
We help get the access and right-of-way agreements in place so the work is allowed where it needs to go.
Permits
We pull the proper permits for the work.
Bringing service to the community
We work with one of our Internet Service Provider partners to bring service to your community through the new conduit.
Restoring lawns and pavement
Backfill, grading, topsoil, seed and pavement repair. The job is not done until the community looks like itself again.

Straight answers, in general terms
Every community is different, so we do not promise prices or dates here. The assessment is where those get specific.
What will this cost residents?
It depends on the community: the size, the route, the ground, and how the project is structured with the board and the internet provider. We cannot quote a number without seeing the site. The assessment is where we explain what drives the cost, and any plan goes to the board in writing before anything is decided. Service plans are set by the internet provider, not by us.
How disruptive is the work?
Some, and we plan for it. Boring under driveways and walkways avoids cutting them in many places, and we schedule around residents and keep the board or manager informed. Lawns and pavement are restored afterward. Where a trench is needed, you will see it, and then you will see it put back.
How long does it take?
It varies a great deal. Agreements, permits and the size of the community all affect the timeline, and some of those steps depend on other parties. We do not promise dates up front. After the assessment, we can give you a realistic sequence for your community.
Who owns the conduit?
It depends on how the project is set up, and it is something to settle in writing in the agreements before work begins. Some communities keep ownership, and in other arrangements the provider does. We lay out the options in the assessment so the board can decide with full information, and the board should have its own attorney review the agreements.
Do we have to pick a particular internet provider?
We work with one of our Internet Service Provider partners to bring service in. We will walk the board through how that works during the assessment.
Why does an underground community make this harder?
When utilities are buried, there are no poles to hang cable from. New cable has to go in the ground, and that means conduit, agreements for access, permits, and restoration. That is the work we do.
Need other work done in your community?
Sewer and water lines, drainage, site work, cabling, irrigation and camera runs: see everything we do for boards and managers on our HOA and property manager page.
