What???  So why not get one connection for the whole neighborhood to
split up?  2 houses is 2 customers.  I would double their bill and let
them split that and I don't care if they use 1M/mth.  It's steeling
service and I look at it as if they are taking xmas presents directly
from under my grand children's tree!

If the combined usage of the two households is well above average, It
makes sense to take some kind of action.

 

But, if the combined usage of the two households is in the lower 50%,
and as long as you never

hear from the non-customer household, and there aren't any problems you
have to fix because

of the second household, maybe it doesn't make sense to alienate a
paying customer.

 

Yes, they are violating your TOS, but perhaps they didn't really READ
them, just skipped to the bottom and signed,

like most of us have done some time or another (especially with
software).

 

If there usage could be mistaken for a single household, are the costs
to service

them really higher?  Would servicing the second household with a second
distant

link be better for everyone, or is the solution they have in place now
reasonable?

 

If the usage is higher, maybe offer them a rate that takes that into
account but is still a better deal

than each buying along and you having to install another link?

What do you do when you find out that a customer is using a wireless
router to share Internet with neighbor and splitting the bill?  I am
sure there are quite a few doing this but when they out right tell you
about it when on a tech call is rare.  It is against our TOS.

What do others do?
