We have shared internet at PrairieSpurce up here in Canada. I would be happy to talk to you about how we did it, but of course things may be different for you in the USA. Still I believe that there is still good information available which would apply where you are also. Not only did we get shared internet but we got a deal where we only pay $75 per month for the whole community. (ie $3/unit). Just leave a message on PrairieSpruce.com and I will get it and email you back.
