Tenants pay for provided internet and cable

I have a multi family I purchased that is being renovated currently and hold an immense amounto f conviction I do not want to have my tenants putting a satellite on my building. I have seen and experienced firsthand the wear and tear here. I believe I have two main options for folks that seek to have internet/cable. I can provide it to the units and charge for it. (I am leaning this way) Or have them individually reach out to a carrier that will not install a satellite. This is in a D/C- neighborhood.

What if tenants are unhappy with the speed/quality? What if they don't want either? I can't have them share, but dont want them to pay for something they don't use. 

This certainly would lead me down the route for them to get it themselves, but I would rather know what's going on and where holes are being drilled. etc etc than leaving that in tenants hands. 

Would appreciate any and all conversation on this .

In that class of property, I wouldn't sweat it. Make it clear they can't install Satellite on the building or roof, then let it go from there.
