My Suddenlink cable bill has a $5 charge for a "Wifi@home". I called assuming it was modem rental fee, which would need to be taken off because I have my own modem and router.
I get a supervisor, who tells me that "wifi@home" is Suddenlink allowing me to use their signal for Wifi. She claims they can tell if I'm using LAN or Wifi, and can turn Wifi capability off.
Is this correct? I've never heard of this before, and can't imagine they can regulate their stream before my router and dictate how it's used.
She said if I want to connect all via LAN, that's fine and they will remove the charge, but I won't be able to use my internet for Wifi.
