Cable can't compete with 5G home internet, so it's cheating
(www.spacebar.news)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Sue. 🤷
On what basis?
So other commenters have opinions that I think are rational, but the part that I think is key that they're missing: Tenant Unions.
I have some (in my opinion) tyrannical yet lazy land lords/property managers at my current apt, and have attempted to form a tenant union. Apparently no one agrees with my level of disgust at our treatment, so I've kind of wiffed at the effort.
Which is to say that it takes real work, but it can be done and there are resources for you, but that's the first step: don't go alone.
Sue the fucking landlord. While looking for another place to stay.
You'd be more effective taking all of that cash and flushing it down the toilet. It would have the same result, and it would force the landlord to pay for a plumber.
Your mandatory arbitration clause would like a word with you.
The landlord can do bulk billing, and they can refuse to allow other companies to service the property. As a tenant the first one doesn't mean you have to buy in to that, and the second doesn't apply to wireless providers. Both things are a basis to sue.
Also this was a simple search away. Please do the simple searching yourself from now on.
I am disappointed in the carelessness of your reply lol.
Right now this is like refusing an amenity fee because you don’t use the pool. You can disconnect the service, but the $60/mo or whatever charge is still being billed to you.
The FCC is fine with it as long as the landlord bundles the service with your lease and the service provider isn’t blocking other providers.
Nothing is stopping you from also paying for 5G internet while you burn $60/mo on cable service that goes unused.
Is it right or fair in my opinion? Absolutely not.
Sure, you could probably find a lawyer but that’ll only work up till the point a judge goes “well, the state doesn’t block these fees and this is outside of the purview of the FCC”.
…and can’t forget the gamble of paying $300/hr+ for a lawyer.
This is an addendum to the original lease. They don't have to sign it and the landlord still has to honor the terms of the original lease.
Please don't post one word comments and then get annoyed when someone asks you to elaborate.
