And now my neighbor's wi-fi has crapped out on me. I tried logging in to their router and rebooting it, but I think their modem needs to be reset. Good thing I have this Sprint Mobile Broadband card from my job.

Well, maybe it's a sign you should stop breaking the law.

Breaking the law? I think you need to read up on that subject a little more.

Really, thats funny since using someone's Wi-Fi connection and bandwidth that isn't yours and you aren't paying for is illegal, it's called stealing and there have been many people convicted. Before you tell me to read up make sur eyou know what you are talking about first.

So, who needs to read up, me or you?

 

[atoz350 10+ year member]

You have no idea what you are talking about. BTW I am a Communication Engineer for Comcast, which is their ISP. I am fully allowed to jump on any Comcast wi-fi network as long as it is unsecured. Its part of my job. Maybe if I want to I can log into Auspice with my VPN and reset their modem that way. After all, I'm only keeping the plant healty by doing that. Again, you don't know what you are talking about.

I guess the courts charging people don't know what they are talking about either //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif FYI, logging onto someone's WiFi network, secured or not, without their permission is illegal.

I'm fully aware of that, but you still are clueless.

I'm fully aware of that, but you still are clueless.

And how is what you do any different?

BTW how is it illegal when my company owns their network?

If they did, which I'm sure they don't, the guy is full of BS, they could get into so much trouble it wouldn't even be funny.

so if a person leases a car and you work for the company that supplied the lease you can just take that car whenever you want cause you work for them right?
