Linksys. Uhm, yeah, very likely that's us. So the next time we were down, I called and asked her if he was having trouble getting his fast connection. She said yes and asked how I knew, and I said, "Oh, because we are down and I am pretty sure he has been using our connection." She was not happy and told him he had better NEVER steal someone else's service again. I didn't even have to complain about it, just make her aware of it.  |
I was at my friends house, and he had a neighbour kid who would conveniently be out on his porch with his lappy everytime we noticed a spike in activity on his network.
We would block his IP address and then look at him outside, he'd slap the keyboard and have that "omg why is my stolen internet broken" look on his face.
Then eventually we just told his parents, and they had no idea what we were talking about... so we just made an analogy to shoplifting and the kid got his laptop taken away
