Post: Do you provide internet to your tenants?

I did set up internet at 3mbps with Verizon for only 29.95 a month on a duplex a few months ago....That's only $1 a day !.And does wonder when you advertise free high speed internet included!.
If divided by two is just $15 per unit which any tenant will gladly pay......These advertising works mostly for young students or young single /couple starters.which definitely need internet and are on a budget.Big family or older tenants are less attracted as they usually will get a bundle with internet,phone and cable/satellite.Students or young tenants usually don't need phone service as they get along well will their cellphones, or don't spend too much time in front of a TV, but they really need to keep up with internet.

At first it was dissapointing as the line had issues and the tenants thought i was their IT repair man,after verizon got everything under control i did set up the modem in the basement stairs where both tenants have access to it.Authorized verizon to talk to them for any technical issue and they were provided with verizon phone number.Problem solved!....Any issue other than billing they should call verizon first.

My next move goes to include security system on all units
