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

(OP) User ID: 52836764  United States01/14/2014 08:30 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Well, the title pretty much says it all. I have satellite internet. Quoting: Kinect 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??? Clear it up quick. She must pay for her usage. Act like you are a company providing the service and send her a monthly bill. If anyone else moves close by, send out bills. I might get into some violations of the law on that one, but it's a good idea!

Show him what you paid before and after he started using YOUR antenna. 1 John 1–3._ 1Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, 3and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. @Starknight921 |

(OP) User ID: 52836764 United States01/14/2014 08:33 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ... Quoting: Kinect  I wish! I have the most top speed availability out here in the country. I spend about $120/mo on internet alone. Crazy.... You trollin bro? Which is it? 80 or 120? Not trolling, normally it's $80/mo, with this increased bandwidth, it's $120-130/mo. so actually YOU are really the stupid one here, trying to convince everyone that you just care about your poor nb. oh how sweet First you said NOW have to pay $80, that is already heavy and NOW again $120 that is a little bit more heavier but still have no balls to talk honestly with your poor nb. and tell them to share expenses! I bet, in the meantime that poor lady still have a couple of cats in the house and money to feed them and her poor internet freak partner oh what a sad sad story  See ya!

OP is a pussy for not having the guts to tell his neighbour the truth. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 52933680 Why go around making excuses for doing the right thing? You have no idea what the situation is. In the beginning, this neighbor was a single mother struggling to get by. I have a thing called compassion. Now she has a man in her life, just trying to be tactful here. It's not easy to be mean when you care about others, okay? I'm not a pushover, I just have had enough now... It's not mean to tell the truth! It's mean to make up a story about your ISP and multiple mac's! GROW UP! Listen here, I grew up a long time ago, I was 19 when Desert Storm hit. Talk about growing up quick! You don't get the fact, that I'm trying to handle this in a decent manner. I do care about my neighbors. Sometimes they are like family. Go eat a dog or something. If you care about your neighbour, you don't lie to them! Your way to solve this can get very nasty...: What if she calls the ISP to solve the problem? Why shouldn't she? The ISP already knows you have had to many mac's (according to you). Well, at least now they know and after telling your neighbour you're a lier, the ISP will come after you... You brought up Desert Storm... WTF? Up my ass you were one of the guys who won that war!!! The way you are acting, I'm sure you were hiding and shitting your pants! |

User ID: 52473267  Canada01/14/2014 08:38 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. this, at least in my opinion. If my neighbour could not afford internet i would give them my password. Who knows when a good neighbour would be needed. I do nice things for my neighbours whenever i can. This winter we got wolloped with storm after storm, and i just was not able to keep my driveway cleared enough, especially after we had just enough rain to turn the banks to ice. I was forever getting stuck in my own driveway, lol. Well, the neighbours were having trouble too, so they hired a private plow to clear them out - and when the guy was done they sent him to my place. He cleared the entire driveway and every bank for me. It was amazing. It probably cost them a little extra, but made my entire winter. :malefav: I love this place!! |

Show him what you paid before and after he started using YOUR antenna. sorry op - i just saw this, so i will ammend my previous suggestion to just let them use your internet. If they are costing you money, by all means it is not wrong to drop by with the bill and let them know, so they can make up the difference. I would not have just changed the password, that is a little cold, but i am canadian and we are a different breed here, lol. i am sure if you tell them you cant afford the usage they will understand. I had strange internet before. it was supposed to be around $80, but all we do is stream netflix all day and download shows, so we were actually paying $140/month. it was crazy :malefav: I love this place!! |

Dude im rural too and I had to fight for 6 months to get broadband at 3mbs a sec - with frontier. I tried the Verizon 4g home fusion and it was like $120 mo for 10gb - now im at $30 mo unlimited. Also do you have a home phone? See who the telo and broadband provider is and go to the hub office and just talk to the old guy in the brick building with one door (bet 100 bucks he is old)the reason for this is you might be too far away to get say they offer 6-10-12 mbs download but you could get 1-3 mbs download so it wont show you can get service. Anyway I would die before I had sat net crap and I found away to get cheap affordable internet. I came from 75mb download speed to 3 and I will say that the withdraws from that was nothing like wanting to smoke! |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 28608977 United States01/14/2014 08:46 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Leeches leech. That's what they do. You'll find them everywhere. In the voting booth voting for Obama, twice. On their chaise lounge collecting welfare. Talking on their Obamaphones. Working construction under the table while collecting disability. Sons and daughters spending their parents and grandparents hard earned money for sex, drugs, and rock and roll. You know who they are. Remember the guy who smoked all day, but never bought a pack of cigarettes? If you allow a leech to leech off of you, and you can stop it, YOU ARE AN ENABLER, AS BAD AS THE LEECH ITSELF. |
