I would charge him extra for using a mac in the first place.
Call it a idiots tax.
Mac not found. FAIL.
It's a mac product and works as a computer.

claims he shouldn't have to pay because he doesn't have a computer...fair enough, but then he continues to use the wifi with his iphone and asks my other housemate to borrow her computer.
Yeah...the question I have...was the decision made to get high speed internet without him? If so, he probably wouldn't have Intenet access unless he was mooching somewhere...so don't take it personal.Originally posted by: FDF12389
I wouldn't care, if its something he cant justify paying for then fine, if he only uses it occasionally I wouldn't care. If he uses it everyday then its another story.

Feel free to ask him for a few bucks a month rather than splitting the bill equally....but keep it reasonable... Look at it this way, if you can milk him for $5 a month or something cheap, it'll add up to $60/year... That's better than nothing. If he won't pay anything, I'd still probably let him use it. It's not costing you anything extra if he won't pay either way and good karma often comes back around. If he's not hitting your account with Limewire or other P2P, you won't even know he's on there.
Of course, if he's a jerk....screw it. I just like to assume that people are generally good.

It's an Apple product. Just like a "Mac" is an Apple product.

i've already changed the password AND denied his iphones mac address, and told him he can't use the internet unless he pays. then he got all shitty about it.
just wanted to rant.

I sure hope you were talking about the iPhone and not the "mac address".

Eh... meh. If I were in your situation I'd probably let him use it and not expect him to pay. There's nothing wrong with not letting him use it, but that's not how I'd treat a friend. Obviously the guy isn't your friend though, so meh.
He was wrong to complain about being locked out.
If he doesn't want to pay for his fair share I wouldn't let him use it. You charge him rent for a room why would you give him free internet?

iPhone = OSX Mobile = Mac
You fail.
Edit: Why is he whining about not being able to use the wifi? He's paying extra for an iPhone data plan, he should be using that.

Set up a captive portal and a 56k pipe. Use the captive portal to display ads every so often. Then have a tiered system.
Tier 1: Free (Ad supported) 56k
Tier 2: 1/2 the bill Unlimited.
