Would you share your Wi-Fi with your neighbour?

MSE_Laura_F

A survey found that 59% of people wouldn't be willing to share their Wi-Fi with their neighbour, whereas 41% of respondents were more trusting.

Where do you stand on the matter? Have you ever shared it in the past, say with a neighbour you're close to?

No.

No chance - spongers 😃!

If they paid half...

We used our neighbours Wi-Fi for a few weeks after moving in and waiting for ours to be setup, which saved us a lot of hassle. Only seems fair for me to return the favour if put in the same situation.

Nope.

I share with visiting friends and family but no way with neighbours.

We have a holiday home in Spain which we visit around 6 or 7 times a year. Our neighbour there let's us use her Wi-Fi for free when we visit.

No, we have a (throttled) guest network for visitors, and one for our use which is speedier. Both are password protected.

Not a chance, far to many security implications

Totally depends on circumstances, surely. 

A nice elderly neighb living on their own and using a tablet to keep in touch with their family, why on earth not. There's such a person near us, but alas not close enough to share WiFi.

Or, a friendly neighbouring family who you get on really well with and consider as friends, both wishing to save a few £uid each month - why not? Provided agreements in place - no mick-taking - and that the bandwidth will easily cover each family's requirements.

I can foresee problems with that last arrangement as soon as the scrolling circle appears, tho'.

IIRC from previous discussions its likely to be a breech of the T&Cs of your contract
