A girl across the street, who I have never spoken to in the year that she has lived in the street has asked if she can piggy back my Broadband for £10 a month.

Of course, I knocked her back, why would I do that for someone I don't even know. Surely, it's illegal or at the very least against the terms of my agreement with my provider.

Oh and yes, before any of you ask, I would, even though she's ginger and about 15 years or so younger than.

Have you suggested turning the deal around and her piggy-backing you for £10 a month? wink

So she sits there making illegal downloads, blogging about her planned terrorism, all against your IP address, whilst possibly rifling your details from your PC, and you're OK with that? If so, fine, well worth a tenner a month.....

Exactly, that's why I knocked her back.

I do it to my neighbours for free so I'd say he was getting a good deal.

I moved into a rented house. Use of the broadband was part of the deal. So started up the pc. Found a network (just the one) and connected. Jobs a goodun. Until the landlord asked me if I wanted the WEP key and the name of the network as he'd hidden it.... Still it was useful to have a back up option when ours went awol for a few days...

Suggest a Donkey Punch a month for free access to your broadband would be a fairer exchange

I've just checked, there are two unsecure connections available in range of my house. I can't believe people don't have passwords on their account in this day and age.

Split the cost with her, on the agreement that she doesn't download too much.
If you think you are going to get your door kicked in (wrong turn of phrase for PH I know), you need the tin foil hat.
Or of course, you could just sit back and let anyone who has the nous hack in anyway.

Get something in writing. That way, when you get caught downloading dwarf scat donkey porn, you can blame it on her. As a fellow mutated MC1R gene variant carrier I can assure you, she'll get the blame for everything.

Is there a way to inform folks that there internet is open? I live in apartments and there are shedloads of them, (rather than ask everyone what their SSID is)

Do it. Then hack into her webcam.

That's what I would do.

Mine is, and I leave it like that so that others can use it.
One of the local estate agents parks up outside now & then and logs in. He knows it is ok though, as I noticed a busy router one day and looked out of the window, and mimed typing, and thumbup.

My next door neighbour hops on mine occasionally when she's working from home. It's no big deal.

Oh man!

The opportunity for filth and depravity is endless.

Perhaps so, but she can't plan judgement day from her own connection can she?

Quoted for prosperity.
