I've been a fan of Leo's since the Tech TV days. He is one of the most genuine and nicest guys in broadcasting.

...but not surprising. My guess is that she just didn't get it. If she knew she was really stealing, she probably wouldn't have sounded so unmistakably clueless.
It reminds me of a friend who once asked, "Do you have a VAX?" She meant "an email account/address" -- not the mainframe she had to connect to in order to get her MAIL> prompt...online at http://www.theFrankes.com

I run into a half dozen people a year that are under the impression that all you need to access the Internet is a wireless card. They think having wireless is a way around needing an ISP.Comment
-
In my neighborhood, it appears to be. I have WiFi with encryption turned on, and the WiFi segment is ONLY allowed HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SSH etc... protocols through. NO CIFS ports, NO portmapper etc... So anything on the Wireless is useless for getting to the wired network other than to access the internet. Which is the way I intended for it. HOWEVER They CAN SSH to the Linux boxes (assuming they are in the known_hosts file)....
I am pretty sure it's my next door neighbor's access point, but somebody has a wide open access point that has a VERY strong signal on the one side of my house... I *COULD* if I was prone to doing so... ride off his WiFi and save some bucks... But there is the whole legality thing...
On the subject of legal. Does anyone know if it would be legal to INTENTIONALLY share WiFi with your neighbors? Say for example if my neighbor bought the absolute fastest broadband money can buy, and I pay him to piggy back, he sets me up with the WEP keys etc...
How would that be legally any different than say running a Cat 5 over the fence?Please like and subscribe to my YouTube channel. Please check out and subscribe to my Workshop Blog.Comment

I'm pretty sure both would be 'illegal'. I don't think the access method matters, it's the sharing of the signal. Same thing as if you drug a TV cable across the fence.Comment
-
Maybe not illegal, per se, but very likely a violation of the service agreement with the ISP. In fact I would bet on it being a violation of the service agreement.LarryComment

Now how would that differ from... Say having your own home network behind a router for example? Why would it be any different to simply "grow" your network by connecting your neighbor, versus another PC or two in your own house?
I know difference between customer and paid customer etc... But I am not sure there really is that big of a difference if the client that is paying permits the connection, however it WOULD be a stupid thing to do. Most broadband connections share an IP, and the home routers simply perform NAT. Everything going in or out of your network would show up as *YOUR* IP address... Meaning if your neighbor was creepy and used your connection to download gigs of kiddie porn, or selling dope on Craigslist... the cops would be looking for YOU...Please like and subscribe to my YouTube channel.

Technically there would be no difference, but all that matters is what I said before: it would almost certainly be a violation of your service agreement. IOW, "You cannot do this because we say you cannot do this; and by signing up to use our service, you agree to do as we say."
Here's a portion of the relevant paragraph from my ISP's terms and conditions:
You understand and agree that you will be the only user of your account or Service username and password. You further agree that you will not disclose either your account or Service ID or password to any other person ...
And etc. I think pretty much all cable and satellite companies, telecos, and so forth have similar language in their service agreements that limits use of the service to one person, one household, one physical address, or whatever. The first sentence of the above is quite clear: I'm to be the only user. I can't share.LarryComment
