So, we just had a brownout...

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

Because they are paying for the use of the network. It's illegal for a landlord to enter your house without permission yet they own the property.

remind me to never get comcast if they let there employees steal internet bandwidth from customers whenever they want

I'm not stealing bandwidth. I'm using the connection to monitor the state of our nodes. Its my job. I don't need their wi-fi connection to do it either. That's what they give me the Broadband card for. I was only using it because its more direct and therefore faster.

You still have to do it legally and using someone's wireless connection is illegal no matter how you slice it. Also, it takes bandwidth to monitor those nodes, and with Comcast's bandwidth caps you're using up bandwidth they have [ayed for.

Wrong again. My landlord can enter my apartment anytime they wish. If I want to make changes to the apartment, I have to ask the landlord. Its their property. They hold the rights. BTW they are renting the equipment from us, so its the same deal.

Actually thats wrong, the landlord needs your permission to enter your house you are renting, trust me on this, you really need to do A LOT of law research, you have no clue what you are talking bout.

Maybe that's why Comcast lifted the bandwith cap so that it exceeds what you pay for?

Again, they are renting which grants them exclusive use to the equipment, by you using it you are breaking the law, its just that simple.

if you are monitoring a node from time to time, thats one thing, but you imply that you are actually surfing the net and using their wireless the same way you would any normal connection

I'm not talking about the mbps rating, I'm talking about what Comcast deems "heavy users" people who use lots of bandwidth that hit the cap and have their service turned off. Plus lets not even get into Comcast's packet and bandwidth filtering.

if comcast wants you monitor nodes when not at work why dont they give you free service so you dont have to steal your neighbors?

Merely telling me that I need to research isnt going to make your statement right. Read any lease and tell me where you see that the landlord is going to ask you permission to enter your property. If they state it at all it would read "We reserve the right to enter and/or inspect any property on our premises". Comcast has to abide by these rights too. That's why they limit certain types of installs on rented properties. You really need to read more.

Renting does not grant you exclusive use of the equipment. That's just like saying that having a library card grants you the rights to own every book in the library.

I never implied that. I have other means of surfing the net.
