Bit of a poll based on a moral problem I have.
Business next door to my cafe is using our free WiFi to help run their business. We do not "need" the internet ourselves but we have it to provide internet for our customers to use at an expense to us. We were unaware they were using it until I recently did a password change and a staff member from the next door shop came and asked for the new password.
Is this an OK thing for them to do? It is unlimited FTTC 50/20 so the customers are not really affected regarding speeds.
Am I the idiot for not changing my password enough?
Let me know what I should do…
So with that theory I can go to my next door neighbors and just ask them for the password for their wifi to use for free yeah? I mean it's broadcasting and I have a good signal at home, it'd save me $99 a month and well it doesn't cost them anything more if I use it as they're already paying for it right?
If they don't I could start saying they're bad neighbors to others around us etc.
It's a pretty tight-arse move and rather cheeky to send staff over for a new password.
All the comments here about how OP should be careful it doesn't impact his business or reputation are BS, all because someone can't leech free internet!
Get their MAC and throttle them or block them, make it so bad they don't want to use it.
Do you even have that many customers using the free wifi?
