Comment You can't have MY wi-fi (Score 1) 505
Because I'm paying a substantial amount of money for a 4096/256 connection. That's kilobit, not kilobytes per second.
Download, yeah, I could live with you leeching some of it, but any and all upload kills the download. Are you part of a botnet? If you start sending shit up, we'll both get choked on download speed; not only because of the upload, but also because of the number of connections. About 50 and my router starts crapping out.
What's that? Buy a better router that handles more connections and can segregate you with your own connection/bandwidth cap? Sure, everything for you! I'm rolling in cash!
So no, you can't have it. I pay for mine, you pay for yours. You're not a friend, you're a foe. I'm not letting you freeload in my house and eat my food, and I'm not letting you use my bandwidth money just because it's a "nice" thing to do. Especially if your activities make the police come to my doorstep, confiscate my computer and all my disks and discs (all of which I may or may not see again in a year or two), and if I get a criminal report attached to my lovely (and unique) name, which will make me lose my job and not ever be able to find a new one, even if I somehow avoid prison. "It wasn't me, judge! I swear!"
No way.
Mr. Kamdar, give people the keys to your house and point them to the fridge, electricity and running water. It's for the good of humanity!
