Lollie Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 When a say landlord, it is actually 'a company' who owns many student properties in the area, The Landlord passed the mac details somewhere who then texted with the code, and yes in their particular house they all have the same code, if it doesnt work it doesnt appear to be their concern! In processing of rechecking mac codes and inputs. But as many will know srudents dont have time for this or to find jobs or to sort out other administrative problems!!!!!!!
