Hi James,
fine questions.
First, there is no other tenet here, its a private home, my apartment is
in the basement, and honestly?  I saw more than a few rental unites that
advertised as all inclusive,  i. e. providing internet  as a part of the
rent just like some provide utilities.
Speaking personally, I wonder how rogers enforced  that rule?
willing to share the models of those units so I can search for them?
