Should I pay for building-wide internet when I need my own connection for work?
HousingThe letting manager pointed to the new rent offer and said, "The broadband package saves everyone arranging their own." I pointed to the separate $45 monthly charge. My existing connection costs $60, and my employer has asked me not to cancel it until our IT team checks the replacement.
This is a US apartment building. The proposed package is described as fast internet included with the new agreement, although the price sheet lists it separately and the manager says it cannot be removed. A demonstration in the lobby loaded a video quickly. I haven't tried the service in my apartment, seen its full terms or learned who handles an outage in the evening.
If I keep my line as well, internet would cost $105 a month. If I cancel it, I might have to arrange reinstatement if the employer's requirements aren't met. I don't know that the building service is unsuitable; I just have less information about it than the manager's reassurance implies.
The [FCC's broadband-label guidance](https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-401799A1.pdf) gives me a starting point for asking about price, speeds and data allowances. What else should I establish before agreeing to a package that's meant to simplify things but may leave me paying for two?
