Roommate Leaving Lease Early

It might be a dialup service rather than cable?

I hope you mean DSL and not dialup! I don't think dialup anything exists anymore.

Your cable company doesn't provide a router with your service???

With mine you can provide your own, or they will provide one for a monthly rental fee.

Haha. I know dialup service exists even today. My tenants have used it because it's cheaper and month-to-month.

I had no idea. Back in the day it was bad enough for mostly text-based content. I can't imagine using the modern Internet via dialup.

According to a CNN article 2.1 million people still use AOL dial up.

I can't imagine.

I understand the advantage to students is less cost and no "package" or time commitment required. Of course, speed is sacrificed and a landline is necessary. But I know students who use it to avoid long-term contracts.

Neither can I. I would not think it's even possible to but a modem either, but I poked around and see that you can!

WOW.

If you ever want to find the cheapest ways to do anything, look at what college students are doing.

Every college student I know has a smart phone and most are capable of creating a hotspot. No, I do not know ALL college students.

Most of the students I know have smart phones. And I would say dialup is rare. But it is still used. Depends on the area and need, I suppose.

Right - I was actually thinking along the lines of rural users...

There are some rural areas where the only affordable option is dial up.

That's what I'm saying

The utilities are in Pasta88's name.

And so . . . . . ?

And so ... Pasta will need to show the cost of utilities was to be split with the roommate.
