Is it possilbe to have multiple internet connections on one account at a discount?

[Wrench]

Well if you have digital cable then Yes it is. Although this was in Canada not sure about here.

If you want the bandwidth then buy on adsl and one cable connection and run them through a router that supports dual wan interfaces.

Oh nm, you just want to see if you get a discount, not sure about that. I have my cell setup through a single account (3 cell phones on 1 account) We don't get any discounts.

So.. could my boss be stiffing me for all the internet connections and be charging another teacher that llives below me full price each? Of course it's cable/ADSL.

[Wrench]

its a good possibility ask the person below you.

If you're all connected to the internet through a router, then he shouldn't be reselling his connection. If he told you that you're sharing the cost with him, then that's okay, just make sure that you're sharing the cost evenly. For example, if he's paying for the 45,000 won package, you shouldn't be paying 45,000 for only a third of the connection speed that you could theoretically be getting. If you're paying that much, tell him you want to switch providers because your ISP is not letting you access certain servers or some junk and then have an account set up for yourself.

So you can set up multiple accounts through a router? I didn't know that. Two or more computers can surf the net at once under one account? If so, he must be doing that. It's just that there was only one bill that I've seen. It was addressed to the other teacher in the same building, but put in my mail slot. He said he had the last bills delivered to the school because the internet company called him to tell him they didn't receive payment from me. I had already told him that I never received the bill. I asked the other teacher and she said that he deducted the last bill directly from her pay as he did mine. Hmm.

I mentioned to him that I may have to change providers because when I buy my laptop next month I get a free keyboard. I only get the free keyboard if I use a certain provider. He said that that's a problem because he has a contract with them. That sounds like BS to me. What difference would it make? Sounds like he's making a little coin off it. A little. Still though. I don't like the idea of that. I can find out pretty quickly if he's doing this, but I suspect he knows I suspect something. I get paid well, but I don't like this kind of dicking around.

How close are your apartments? Maybe you should get a wifi system and dump one of the accounts. Share a fast connection. Haha. Probably not worth the investment for you.
