| 1354501 | 2013-09-28 07:03:00 | I have a mate who is around 300 to 400 mtrs from me. He has a dialup connection which is not very reliable, while I have a quite fast BB signal. Is there a legal way to somehow share my BB ? He is quite willing to pay, on a 50/50 basis. But how do we go about it ? Is the distance between us going to create a problem ? If it is, then is there someway we could boost the signal so it reached his house. Telecom/Chorus have said they do not intend to put more, hmm, what do I call it, connections, to the roadside cabinet. Anyway any suggestions/help would be appreciated> |

| 1354503 | 2013-09-28 07:08:00 | Hi Pcuser42, well a couple of problems, one is that there is private property between us and there is a public road problem also :-( But thanks for the interest. |

| 1354508 | 2013-09-29 09:21:00 | Yep absolutely legal. In fact for the better part most ISP's don't know, nor do they really care. If anything, it's a good thing for them coz you'll use more data, which means they get to charge more. Long range WiFi is the go :) |

| 1354509 | 2013-09-29 21:13:00 | Long range WiFi is the go :) Although that should work bear in mind the connection quality may not be as good as Ethernet, probably higher ping, may have dropouts etc. But probably a big upgrade from dialup! |
