Why don't you start charging much less for your services for multi family dwellings?

I was thinking it would be a good idea to have multi family apartment buildings be able to share internet WiFi and so share the billing. Units could be installed in a common area and have repeaters.People could sign up and just get a WiFi password sent to them. Many people can share the same bandwidth and still be very fast and save money all over. Except for the company.

By definition you're not supposed to share a Residental grade connection across multiple homes/dwellings like this, however there are many places that do just this. The owner/landlord will purchase a business class connection suitable for sharing with a specific amount of capacity, and will distribute the bandwidth using central gear that then goes to Wired or Wireless access for each tenant. This is all up to the building owner however, except in some very rare circumstances.

It's a great idea, yes, but some things are truthfully best left independant. Such as your home Internet connection. Security, speed, reliability, etc. Cost? Maybe not so much, but that's when you start to get the most out of what you pay for. For example, streaming the highest quality video you can, utilizing the service as much as possible without becoming excessive (time-wise), and so on.
