    New neighbours renting next door.
    They seem nice enough I think from Slovakia .
    Last week one knocked and asked could he have the password for my internet ?
    I said I dont have any, and he said oh you do :eek:
    So I said no I dont have unlimited.
    He just looked at me, and has not said hello since.
    what would you have done ?

    I'd change my router name to something a bit savoury

    I'd laugh in their face and close the door!

    Simple pay for your own Internet or pay me for half of it if you want to share it!

    It's not a free service.

    Call over and ask for a loan of his car..... or a go on his wife.

    Cheeky b@stard.

    You were absolutely right to say no. Tell them to get their own internet. Different if it was a house guess of your with a laptop etc. If this is how they start off, god knows many favours they will call on you.

    I would happily hand it over if I had unlimited, but if not, no way


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,564 ✭✭✭✭whiskeyman


    You should have said 'why of course'.

    It's 'NeighbourKiller_15'





    It's unlikely they'll ask you to repeat it... or bother you again for that matter.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 9,431 ✭✭✭cml387


    The only person who'd get free internet from me is Penny.

    There's no such thing as "unlimited" when comes to Internet. There's a fair usage policy that if you go over a certain amount your speed is either capped or your fined.

    It's a big amount though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,401 ✭✭✭lukesmom


    I would tell him to fk off.

    You should have given it to them.
    They were probably only going to download no more than 1Tb of child porn using your connection.......

    Change your router name to tightfistedcúntsatnumber17 or whatever number their house is!

    This would never happen to me since my SSID is c:/virus.exe

    What if they were using it for something dodgy though? The connection is in your name, could come back and bite you in the ass.

    He might say no when you ask him to keep the noise down on the 3rd day of his vodka fueled party

    You'd happily give strangers access to your private network? It's a bit like saying you'd give the keys for you front door to your new neighbours because you've got loads of rooms.

    Tbh if you gave them the internet details they'd prob ask for the keys next!

    You know you're the one responsible for anything illegal done on your connection, right?

    So you give neighbour password, he downloads music/games/beastiality/cp (that escalated quickly), it's you who's going to get into trouble.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 602 ✭✭✭dollyk


    oh can they do that ? download porn ?:eek:
    Aw im getting way to old to understand this stuff
    but my husband wondered if they could then read my emails lol

    Exactly what you did but not as nicely, the cheeky bo***x. You should consider changing your ssid and password too.

    Change to Garda_GNIB. :)

    My mate used to have his open with no password.

    He nearly tripped over a girl crouched outside his apartment door with a laptop when he popped out to the shop.

    He put a password on it after that.

    Would make for a touching 'where did you meet' wedding speech.
