My problem looks like this: I live in a 3-person flat with only one internet connection. When I moved in, it also worked great, we had a router whose contract went through a roommate and we shared the costs by 3.
When she moved out I should take over the new contract. My roommates wanted not only internet, but a package with television and other extras, which I do not need and the minimum term would be 2 years.
I said that I will not do it because when they move out and the new residents do not want those extras, I'm left alone on the cost. Any suggestions that I made would be rejected, so I said that the Internet at the university was enough for me.
Now one of them is moving out and we're looking for someone new for the flat share and I wanted to talk to the whole thing about the internet once we're back to three, so that all have a say.
The day before yesterday she has, however, without discussing it with me or even to warn me, a new router with their contract to connect to the only Internet connection.
I suggested she share the costs and the internet, but she refuses because of a dispute from us.
I'm referring to BAFöG and therefore I have been legally exempted from GEZ fees and have also confirmed it in writing. However, she thinks I still have to pay "my" share because I still have my phone and my laptop. She even wanted to forbid me to use them in the apartment.
For this reason, they denied me now the shared use of the router and says I may only participate in the Internet, if I pay the GEZ fees.
If there was a second connection, I would not have a problem with setting up my own router and concluding my own contract, but as I said, that is unfortunately not possible, since we only have one and she has claimed it for himself without consultation,
I have tried several times now to clarify the problem objectively and constructively, but it only becomes offensive or apes me.
Do you have any advice for me or do you know how to fix it? More data volume or a Surf Stick are out of the question for me. And I will not give in and pay for something I'm free to do.
Well, I know that may not be the fine English way, but I would simply mirror their behavior: 'Oh, the toilet paper was not for me alone? Nah, so I'm sorry, I've probably overlooked your name there. "
Or you just look for the conversation in a moment where can't just turn away and mimic you so z.b. If her friends are here then she will not just ape you.
Or just dare threaten to undress. If she does not share the internet, then why the rental costs. Alone she is then pretty much in trouble. Maybe she will be a bit more willing to discuss after the threat.
Do you have a cable TV connection? If you do not, get a GIGACUBE.

Depends on the connection. Do you have a FritzBox, simply write off the WLAN key.
Thanks, I'll have a look. Yes, it is a Fritzbox, but it has already changed the name, so I assume that it has also changed the password
If you are brazen, you can. Then buy yourself a wireless repeater → connect to FritzBox build. And connect your devices with the repeater.
I've already tried a similar strategy on other issues, but unfortunately it does not help.
We own the following

All TOP work!
Thanks, if no other solution can be found, I'll maybe try it.
Hmm, ok, good luck anyway!
Thank you very much!
The behavior of your roommate is pure blackmail. Because you do not have to contribute to the cost of the broadcasting fee, is clearly regulated by law.
How about if you go to a lawyer and threaten her with a lawsuit?
Another alternative might be that you ask the network provider if there's a possibility for a second connection. But you would have to pay for it alone.
