So, I have been helping my neighbor with wi-fi, it has taken a terrible turn. | |

Offer Upgrade  User ID: 52836764  United States01/14/2014 01:05 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Well, the title pretty much says it all. I have satellite internet. I paid quite a pretty penny to get this installed. I live in a remote area. There are no other options available. Unless you want a dial-up connection that is reaching 24k max. My wife made good friends with the neighbor, who saw our wireless router on her device. So she asked my wife if it would be possible to connect to the router. At first, I had no trouble with this. (2 years ago). Now I pay heavily for this damned thing ($80/mo) for just internet. I thought this might be a temporary situation. No.. This neighbor is still leaching my internet! I have changed the router password. Guess what? The neighbor came down at 12:30am tonight. She asks "when I try to log on, it says authentication error?" Am I wrong for this? I really hate being an ass, but damn! I think they should have their own internet service in 2 years!  Or???

Turn that feature off & tell her you had it disconnected. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 48414043 Don't know much about computers but if this is true then do this! That's if she's not giving you anything in return. She should do something for you, like snow blow your driveway once in a while, or give you veggies from her garden, something. If not, then tell her you had it connected and let her learn to reciprocate when someone gives her free shit. She sounds like that friend in a bar who always lets you buy them a drink but never buys you one. |

(OP) User ID: 52836764 United States01/14/2014 01:13 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Is it costing you extra? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 46285418 I mean, what's the difference? Maybe they'll do you a favor in return one day. $50 extra a month difference.

I have the most top speed availability out here in the country. I spend about $120/mo on internet alone. Crazy....

If the neighbors download movies and songs You will be the one hit with a lawsuit and loose Your house. I would simply tell them someone downloaded copyright material and You lost Your internet service due to it. I have been warned several times about downloading content and yes they will shut you off. |

User ID: 44666539 United States01/14/2014 01:28 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Isn't it sad? You give someone an inch and they take a yard. She should have offered to help with the bill long ago. I would just tell her flat out. Don't tap dance around the issue. Her usage is causing your bill to go up so she needs to help out or not use it anymore. At this point you're not helping, you're giving. With neighbors that should be a two way street. you're nearly a laugh, but you're really a cry. |
