Ok I live in an apartment while going to college with my younger brother and 2 other roommates who are his friends. Every month we each sit down and figure out what each other owes for each bill since each one of us chose to keep track of a particular utility and pay the bill to that utility and we collect from each other.

Its been fine all year however our local internet service called NTC communications is notoriously crappy and everyone in this town hates it but we have no choice at our apartment complex since it's the only service we can get ect. NTC provides basic cable tv (which randomly cuts out a lot) and basic internet (1.5 to 2.2 mbps variable) for a total of $90 a month which is a rip off for the service we get.

Well after a while (after they got rid of several channels I liked) and after random internet outages and no customer service when calling the phone, I said that's it I can't take this anymore I'm never at the apartment that much and can use my University's wifi for free which is 15mbps and when I'm home I eat and sleep that's it.

They said if I opted out and not paid my part of the bill even if I agreed to not use tv or internet (since I don't often) it's still not fair since it increases their average rates ect (since we split the bill)

I saw their point of view and since we only have 3 more months to pay I agreed to stay and pay the rest of the way.

However I told my brother for next year if we end up with the same company/crappy service at our new apartment, opt me out. I will not pay the bill and not use the service ect since I spend most of my time on campus and can use campus internet for free ect.

He got upset at me saying that since it will increase their rates and I told him they can also choose not to use cable and internet for the outrageous rate their charging, but they insist they need TV and internet (that's all they do all day!)

I said it's my right to choose not to want it and I said while I agree it would be unfair to suddenly opt out mid way through this past year, next year and telling them this now way ahead of time, I thought it was completely fair.

Why pay for utilities I think are a rip off and that I really don't need since everything I need is on campus.

Yeah since I'm paying it now I use it when I'm home but I'd gladly go without it an not pay the rip off prices ect.

Am I wrong?

Also recently I've been able to tether my laptop with my verizon phone service through my smartphone, the bandwidth came out 1mbps faster than this internet service!
