| 1113239 | 2010-06-24 23:22:00 | Say you have 2 neighbors, one who is on the internet and the other is not. The one who is on the internet has a wireless connection and says to his neighbor that if he can pick it up in his house he can share the connection and pay half of his internet account. I have 2 questions arising from this scenario, if the ISP found out would they like it and could the person in question be had up for fraud. :) |

| 1113241 | 2010-06-24 23:35:00 | if you have a boarder, you could share it and have them pay a bit ...... the thing is you have given the permission for them to use it - so it is not stealing. |

| 1113242 | 2010-06-24 23:48:00 | Three things come to mind: 1) It's not illegal 2) ISP's don't care 3) Regardless of if you offer access for free or a fee, there's nothing stopping you :) |

| 1113243 | 2010-06-24 23:49:00 | It would depend on the ISP's term & conditions, whether you had agreed to use the connection for your own personal use or in the case of a business for internal connections only. | PaulD (232) | ||
| 1113244 | 2010-06-25 00:07:00 | I would say that it's OK. They are just sharing their Internet with permission from the owner. No laws saying that one cannot share the Internet with someone else. | bk T (215) | ||

The one who is on the internet has a wireless connection and says to his neighbor that if he can pick it up in his house he can share the connection and pay half of his internet account. I have 2 questions . I have a third. Whats happens when he stops paying, continues leeching and the arguments start? Or here's another: What happens when everyone else in the neighbourhood starts using it too, and the accusations start? |
