I use my neighbor's wifi to get online sometimes. I have about 5 neighbors signals reaching my house. When I want to get away from the desk I just unplug the land line and turn on my wireless connection. It is very easy to get a signal sitting in my bed. I like that because it gives me some comfort and quit time to think about writing. I was wondering if you consider using your neighbor's wifi stealing and do you do it? In my opinion, if they don't want someone else using their internet connection, they should put a password on it. What do you think?

before my sister bought our wireless router i used to connect to our neighbor's wifi.. i doesn't have any security that's why i can connect easily.. and it's open 24 hours a day 7 days a week that's why i was very happy. haha.. but now we have our own wifi and i ensure that it is password protect.. just to play safe.. :D

Sometimes, I do. We have our own router but the last time the power adaptor broke, I have no choice but to borrow the neighbors'...I guess it's not so bad. But I still feel guilty for doing so. I think they wouldn't mind. Oh well...It's not stealing. I don't consider it being one.

For a while I was getting some mysterious free connection, and it was great. Then one day whoever had it caught on, and put a bloody password on it. AArrgghH!!! That was really great, getting free wi-fi. It was a wonderful thing to have, but now we're back to payin for cable internet.

Is it stealing...yes, it's stealing. Should you do it...that's between you and your conscience. By rights if you want wifi then you should get your own. Why should anyone else pay for you to have something that you don't want to or can't pay for yourself...
