Poll Started 17 April 2007. Would you use a neighbour's broadband? You're connected at home but don't have wireless access. One day your laptop detects a strong signal from a neighbour's wireless router which you can access the web via. Which of these is nearest to your attitude?
A. I'd use it happily, without telling them
B. I'd ask them first if they minded
C. I'd generally avoid it, but may access quickly when needed
D. I'd ask if I could pay a portion of their bill and use it
E. I'd never use it, it's not mine, if I want wireless I'll get it

So we're advised to decline sales of wireless adapters to anyone who admits that this is what they are to use it for.
Having said that, the street our PC shop is on, there are currently 7 networks and 4 of them are unsecured.
