Internet service at rental

[Freddy C.]

I am in the process of renting out my former residence, and I just realized something. While I lived there, I had pretty crummy internet service. We had DSL from Verizon (I believe) and the connection would cut-out intermittently for a few minutes, or longer.

My rental is in a middle-class neighborhood and I would assume most prospective tenants will have a computer and a non dial-up service. So, I can pretty much assume they will experience lousy service as well, right? And further, they will be calling me about it, correct?

I am not tech-savvy, especially when it comes to hardware. Every time we called Verizon to take a look at the issue their solution ultimately did nothing to resolve the problem. Anyone else have to work through an issue like this?

You're not the ISP, so not your problem.

Have them go with cable or fiber for internet if available. I feel for your tenants if they are stuck with DSL as the only option for hi-speed internet.
