Anyone?
I do technical installations such as this, it would require a few wireless modems and a good internet connection, but you could easily provide it to an entire complex of residents.

I have an outdoor industrial strength wireless router with a 0.5 mile radius, can handle up to T1 connections I believe. Let me see if I can find it.

The thing to consider, is that to give internet service to every apartment it costs a lot of money more than just to handle the office, and community computer room. The owners have to charge a higher rent to cover their costs to provide this service to every apartment. On top of that, it is not a secure if you have anything you don't want others to seem, or for them to be able to tap into your personal files. A real easy to hack set up.

This is incorrect information. You can use a single internet line to supply the entire apartments, the bandwith would be horrible, but it;s not like you need a separate line going to every apartment.

I just did a job about a year ago at some condos in scottsdale, we only had to setup 10 wifi routers and 15 lines to supply enough to everyone.
