About US

Chad Cody, President of Upstate Broadband had always visioned a company with the highest customer service and loyalty along with the proper funding needed to supply the equipment that is demanded of the Cable Industry. With the partnership of Chad Cody and Dean Beaty, and with the years of experience with both technical and sales associated with the cable industry, Upstate Broadband was created.

From purchasing Excess, Surplus, Wreck-out cable tv equipment to providing customers with the hard to find equipment needed to efficiently run there operations, but not forgetting the most important key, which is to provide the best customer service possible.
The broadband industry is changing at a speed unheard of. The day has passed where 750MHz was considered superior. We are now in the millennium of technology that 1GHz is now the standard. As capital is needed for upgrading systems, we have come to bring a different approach to the terminology “Upgrade”.

At Upstate Broadband we are here to provide you not only with a source of legacy equipment, but the service and dedication needed to fulfill your highest requirements.

In August of 2004 Upstate Broadband and Cooper Salvage out of Jefferson Oregon partnered together to provide a full wreck-out recycling program in which we can provide the up most service and superior pricing to fulfill any system upgrading or damage control. We understand that price per pound along with excellent service is most important however there is no reason why both can’t be fulfilled. Upstate Broadband will provide impeccable service from start to finish.

With locations both in Greenville South Carolina and Jefferson Oregon, this now provides a full range of services coast to coast.

Frequent Asked Questions

•Do I have to spend a lot of time trying to package this broadband equipment up and find a way to ship the equipment I have?

Not at all. We can come to your location on site and package the equipment and either truck it back to our warehouse location or bring it to a local terminal.

•If I choose to ship it to Upstate Broadband what shipping options are available?

For small items we prefer UPS. For larger items requiring a pallet we use YRC freight services.

In most case YRC’s local shipping terminal in your local area has access to pallets and shrink-wrap and can completely assist with all shipments. We also will take care of all paper work. All you have to do is print the Bill of Laden and address shipping label which we provide and bring the equipment and forms to your local shipping terminal and they will take care of the rest.

•How soon is the payment sent after shipments are sent?

As soon as the shipment arrives in our warehouse we will go through the equipment to ensure everything is there and in the condition as agreed upon.

If we come to your location and inventory the equipment on location, then payment is rendered the same day.
