Layer 02 — Install Services

Stop subbing out
the install.
Own the relationship.

Resellers who sub install work to a broker lose the margin and lose the relationship. Altnet Fiber delivers rack-and-stack, fiber runs, and smart hands directly — no middlemen, no additional broker layer gig workers. Our tech in your customer's rack. That's where the next sale starts.

The Problem With the Current Model

You're paying for
three layers of middlemen.

Most resellers don't realize who's actually showing up to do the install. Here's what the current model looks like — and what Altnet Fiber replaces it with.

The Way It Works Today
Reseller → Broker → Additional Broker Layer → Random Tech
Reseller subs install to a broker at a significant markup
Broker dispatches through an additional broker layer — a gig economy platform
Additional broker layer assigns whoever accepts the job — unknown skill level
Tech shows up with no relationship to your reseller or end user
Reseller loses visibility, accountability, and any chance of follow-on
Cable sourced separately — margin leaves the deal entirely
No cross-sell happens. No relationship built. Just a one-time job.
The Altnet Fiber Model
Reseller → Altnet Fiber → Your Customer's Rack
Reseller works directly with Altnet Fiber — one accountable partner
Altnet Fiber dispatches vetted, experienced technicians directly
Same tech relationship built over time — not random gig assignment
Tech arrives with Altnet custom cable already on the job
Reseller keeps margin on both cable and install
Tech is in the rack — natural, trusted cross-sell moment happens organically
Relationship compounds. Next project starts with a call, not a cold quote.
