Internet Service Provider

[Stephan Precourt]

I have a two unit property with one electric meter (electric/utilities are not separated). Both tenants want the same internet provider, but the internet provider won't do two accounts to a property that has one electric meter. I called and asked why and they said its policy and that my tenants would need to combine services. I don't want to have to put the internet in my name and charge the tenants a fee (because every time there's an outage, I'd have to run interference) and I don't think I should connect the two tenants to work together to combine services and come up with a solution. One tenant has been there 5 years and doesn't feel comfortable combining services, I don't really blame her. Anyone ever experience this and/or have any suggestions? I don't understand the logistical purpose of the internet service provider's policy and I considered telling my tenants to tell the company the electric for the property is separated...not ideal but maybe it would solve the problem...Thanks in advance for your input!
