What do you charge for WiFi?

[David Tomich]

We're looking into providing wireless internet at several apartment properties.  The setup cost per property is about $12,000.  After the 1-time setup cost, monthly cost will be $200-$300 per property, or $5-$8 per apartment.  Tenants are currently paying $60-100/mo for their own internet service, but some are sharing with their neighbors to bring the cost down.  So, what do you charge your tenants for wifi?  We're thinking around $18 per apartment, but curious what other landlords are doing. 

Thanks for helping!  

PS - If you can recommend a wireless system that works well for apartments (and allows us to restrict login, so not anyone can use it) please let me know!  Smallest property is 20 units, 1 acre, largest is 53 units and about 10 acres.

Before you spend all that money on WIFi, you should check to see how many tenants will buy the service.
