Hahah
Yeah the speed is kind of silly. We're driven that direction by
Charter/Spectrum. They're advertising stupid high speeds these days.
To win the deal for this building we had to beat stupid speed with
ludicrous speed. There's an OLT in the basement so it's actually no big
deal to provide that speed to them. But as you correctly point out,
each apartment has enough capacity for 10 or 20 apartments.

understand there is a maybe slim but nonzero chance of a SWAT team breaking
down his door and handcuffing him and his family at gunpoint if one of his
neighbors is engaging in terrorist activities with his Internet connection.
Cutting him off could just result in a game of whack-a-mole in the MDU as
another resident does the same thing. But I think you have to try.
I don't think you could draw up a legal document for him to take responsibility
for any TOS violations by the freeloaders. That would probably only have a
legal basis if he was reselling service, and you don't want that either.
Part of the problem I suspect is that you're selling him service so fast (half
a gig if I understand you right) that he can do this without appreciably
slowing himself down. On a more modest speed package, I'd be inclined to just
cut his speed, and when he calls to complain about slow Internet, tell him
there's just so much traffic on his connection, almost like his neighbors were
using it. What's he going to do, cancel? Yes, please, cancel.

....and if it matters this isn't like a 2 family house. This is a
building with hundreds of units.

Well turns out we have a tenant with 500meg sharing his WiFi with
neighboring units. Found out when a cluster of units near each
other canceled service.
On the one hand I'm annoyed and frustrated. On the other hand I
realize that they could (and surely do) play the same game with the
cable company and that there's no real technical solution to stop
them from doing it. Do you just suck it up as cost of doing
business or would you go confront the guy?
