mark s | Should I have to pay for this?? |
I live with two other people. We just got DSL installed in our apartment. The monthly fee is 36 bucks which we split three ways. But we just got the bill that included a 120 dollar fee for the modem. My roomate wants me to pay a third for it but heres the thing...Im moving out in December and obviously wont get to use the modem anymore. I understand I need to use the modem to access the internet but I only have access to it for two months so I dont think I should pay for a third of it. Its not like when I move out Im gonna take a third of the modem with me. |

Personally, I think only one person should pay for the modem, and then that person will get to keep it when you all go your separate ways.
That's what I did with my old roommate. We split the cost of the monthly bill, but I bought the modem, and took it with me when I moved out.
Alternatively, you could probably rent the modem (assuming your ISP gives you this option). It usually costs a few dollars extra a month, but it would solve your problem. |

The answer to this is somewhere between $0 and $40.
While it isn't fair for you to pay $40, it also isn't fair for you to pay $0.
Negotiate.
Here is what I would do. Count up the number of months that each of you will be there and add them up. Divide 120 by the answer. The result is a fair fee per person per month.
(who said word problems wouldn't come in handy in the real world........) |

You need to discuss this with your roommates. I don't think you should have to pay for the entire third but you will still be using it for two months so should pay for at least part of it. Talk to them and see what is reasonable for all of you. |

It's a lousy $40.00, pay it.
Without it you would not have internet access. |

Seems that you were not aware of a hardware purchase to get this sevice. What else might not you be aware of? Many service providers include a mail-in rebate ,for hardware, that refunds the full price when you commit to a full year of service. Perhaps your room-mate is trying to cover his total obligation by mis-informing you as to the true expense of this service-which may have been a miscalculation on his part. As I see it $112.00 for a couple of months service is not a huge price to pay compared to the lessons learned-lessons that will last a lifetime. |

I would think you should pay for it. But is someone else moving in when you move out? Have them pay you up front when they move in. I would pro-rate the fee so that they pay you back the portion that covers the modem for the time that they live there. |

The fair thing to do would be to pay your share and then collect a portion back from the new roommate.
What would you say if one or both of your roommates told you next month that they feel that they shouldn't have to pay their share of the internet bill because they only used the 'net for 5 minutes? |

Whoever owns the computer needs to pay for the modem. |

Personally, I wouldn't rent the modem, you can usually buy them for about the same cost as a year of renting one. Then you could take it with you!
Is the $120 the fee the only fee you have to pay or is it a yearly rental fee? If it's a yearly fee (which it usually is) the answer is simple, just prorate it $10 a month. |

yall were already n an agreement 2 pay for it in the 1st place... so u might as well pay 4 tha rest of it |

Its only a small amount, so just pay it and not cause confusion with your roomates |

Yes, you should pay for it. It ought to have been understood before the DSL was installed that these sorts of expenses would be part of the deal.
You can talk to your roomates and see if they would be willing to give you a reduced rate. But as you all agreed to the DSL to begin with, they understandably would expect you to pay your part. Since you just got the bill, you probably had the thing installed about a month ago, so you will have used it for nearly three months when you leave. You could ask if your part of the modem fee could be $15 rather than the full $40.
Another thought is to ask the person who is taking your place (assuming there is a new roomate coming on board) if they would mind paying for part of the modem. Don't hold your breath on that one. |
