I know this is wrong but...

[sweetprincess23]

I know this is wrong but I am too poor to buy a computer and internet. So I borrow a laptop every so often and pick up on one of my neighbors wireless connection. My question is, can my neighbor tell when I am borrowing their internet? I might be currently doing this and my connection keeps going out and is hard to get back.

It's called stealing, get your own connection. Your welcome.

Go ahead and run an extension cord into their outdoor outlets. I'm sure they won't mind. Hell, it's free electricity!

like I said, I know this is wrong. I hardly ever do it. If I knew which neighbor it was I would ask if they mind but there are several connections I think. If I had wireless I wouldn't care. And if they don't want it done can't they block it somehow? but thanks. oops I didn't realize I chose that one.

Yes, they can tell, but probably aren't looking. You can be arrested for theft of services, there is precedent.

If you're on good terms with them, go next door and ask if they would mind you using the connection once in a while, and offer them something in return. My dad did it with his neighbor for almost 2 years, with the neighbor's consent.

Are you serious? Kinda like the whole "if you don't lock your car doors in your own drive way you deserve to have your car stolen"?

This is why my network is private.

If you had satelite internet service at twice the cost of regular cable or dsl you would care very much, if you reach the downloading/uploading limit the service slows down to dial up speed for 30 days.

Why? Do you think wireless is free?

I am pretty sure it is the people behind me I don't talk to my neighbors to often. But one night they had a party and ran out of beer, I gave them some. I figure they won't mind. I know that isn't the point but really it is very rare of me to do it, like once every couple of months. I really don't have time to be on a computer. My question is now. Are all of you saying you have NEVER downloaded music from limewire, napster or one of those other sites?

I can say never.

I usually pay for my steaks. I only steal them once every few months. You know, when I am low on iron.

I did have dsl at one time it was like 17 dollars a month, my neighbor drives a corvette. I don't think this is killing him. Now if I am slowing him down, then I feel bad. If it makes anyone happy at tax time I will be getting a computer and my own internet. But calm down, I am not killing anyone. I knew I shouldn't have asked.

Nope never. So you steal music while using a stolen wireless connection? At least you are predictable.

Actually, you shouldn't be stealing the service.

Who gives a #### what he drives? You are stealing. He's paying for something and you are making his connection slow, nice.
