    I presume he would use up your download allowance! Plus if he did anything naughty presumably it could be traced to you rather than him? Get him to ring up and find out his username and password and hes obviously drinking too much if amnesia has set in at presumably such a young age.

    I think the user:pass of each BT customer is tied to their telephone number...though im not sure.

    If it works though, Im 90% certain his activity and your activity will on be logged onto your account and thus you could have very extreme data transfer figures every month....though Im only guessing!

    Give it a go...otherwise use your head and ring up customer support and ask them to change the password!
    It will take 24hours for the change to take place...and your friend can use their own info to log in.

    If it does work, your cap will be port independant so he will be using your cap.

    if it doesn't, the connection is port dependant so wont work.
