Depends...
If you have each computer using their own ISP then, YES, you pay for internet for each computer. But who would do something like that, never know I guess.
If you have a router connecting all your PC into a Home Network (LAN), then you can use 1 ISP (Internet Service Provider) to connect to the internet from any computer and only pay the price of one.

I guess this depends on the internet company and your computer connection. Let me explain:
1. About your connection:
You can use a Modem with various connections. You can also get a Wireless Modem and all your computers will get internet through the same one. In both cases, you can pay for only one.
2. About the internet company:
Some companies program their server for especific MAC Addressess. The Mac Address is a number assigned to the Network Card in every computer. It's unique. If this is the case, then the company will register the Mac Address of the computer you're paying for and the others won't be able to access internet even through the above methods. And you'll have to pay for the 3 computers!
Ask your company about this and then you'll know what to do.

It depends on how each computer connects to the internet.
The best setup would be a network. The internet connection is via a router. You will need a hub. The router and all the computers connect to the hub.
There is network setup on the each of the computers will depend on the router and if you are using DNS or if each computer has an IP address.

You can pay for one internet connection if you can ask assistance on installing a router or a similar device (not exactly from the internet service provider). That way, you can share the internet connection between computers, share devices like printers as well as access each of the computer.

Just pay for one.
Share the internet connection among the computers
by plugging ethernet cards into each computer.
You need an ADSL moderm which has at least 3 ports.
Use windows second edition, then share your internet connection.

It depends on how you set the network. Its better to just pay for one and the other two will use internet connection sharing manager.

You can set up your computers on a network. This way, everyone can access the internet simultaneously and you only pay for one connection.

Depends.
If you give each one a modem, then you'll be paying for 3.
The best is to connect the 3 comps. as a network.
then you only pay 1 bill. =)
