Internet Access to Tenants

I'm renting out my first single-family house, and my question is: 

Should it be my responsibility to set up internet for tenants? In other words, should I coordinate with the technician to set everything up? Or should the tenant do all that? The house is already wired; I just need the box and router set up. 

I'm afraid that by setting it all up myself I will be on the hook for the utility bill, and I don't want that liability.


What do you all do regarding internet in your rental?

Thanks in advance,

Dalyn

@Dalyn Hazell if you set it up...guess who gets the call when Netflix starts buffering, a power surge renders the router and/or modem inoperable, or the local cable service is wiring in the neighborhood and internet is down for an hour or so.
