Is this good turf?
First, the streets you get depend on the agency.
Fiber on a filing only pays if the agency you sell for can put you on those streets. Ask any agency these, get the answers in writing, then weigh the numbers on this page.
1. Do you get your own turf?
RCLX’s answer: Every rep works exclusive turf, so two reps are never put on the same street.
2. How is the pay set up?
RCLX’s answer: Reps work as 1099 independent contractors on 100% commission, earned on completed installs.
3. When does the money land?
RCLX’s answer: Commission is paid on the payday RCLX is paid for the install.
4. What happens when a customer cancels?
RCLX’s answer: If a customer cancels within 120 days of the install, the commission on that one sale comes off your next check. After 120 days the install is locked and stays yours.
5. Can you see your own numbers?
RCLX’s answer: Every rep gets a portal that shows their installs, their pipeline and a pay statement for every payday.
Then the numbers. Each state and city page states every measure on its own: how much fiber was filed, how much cable has no fiber beside it, whether the cable filing advertises a gig, and how fast fiber homes grew between filings. There is no score: you weigh them.

Found a market? Talk to a recruiter.
Leave your name and number and a recruiter calls you back. Bring the agency checklist to the call and ask every question on it.
Figures come from provider filings with the FCC, which providers report themselves and which can be challenged. Nothing on this page is a promise of territory, earnings or service at any address.
