Aibu to switch off the broadband CF Neighbours

So long story short aibu to switch off my router as we have kindly let next door use the internet as theirs was down.

The mother (who has not so much as said hello since we moved here) sent her son round last Saturday to ask and my dp said yes, I have checked our settings and they are hooked up to a fire stick and about 3 phones.

I’m not being unreasonable to think if we let her use it she won’t get her own internet sorted out if she has access to ours - I suspect it is due to a billing issue as the mother is constantly having very late nights as my dp will hear her and her friends still up at 5.30am when he gets up. I will also add the mother does work.

Aibu? I do feel a bit guilty on her kids 😣

Do some people actually leech off of their neighbours WiFi indefinitely? I can’t believe the front of some people, I would be too embarrassed to do that!

No not seen or heard anything from them! Makes me think of they could of easily bloody resolved their own issues why leech of us for the duration they did!

If they come round I’ll be sure to update with my response 😂

If you dont hear from her again OP, maybe you threw her off a mumsnet thread she was reading

Turn it off as a warning shot a few times, then if the kid comes round tell them it's playing up and you are switching to a limited or pay for use service, that they won't be able to use

It's always best to RTFT, Zebulon 👍🏻

What do you bet they are using some other neighbours internet? Cfs

I’ve just read this whole thread and massively enjoyed it! I was so hoping the CF would be back! I’m so changing my WiFi name to whichoneofyoucuntsvotedforbrexit 😂
