To ask neighbour if I can use his wifi?

[Foliageeverywhere122]

Just moved into a new flat by myself.

The earliest I can get wifi is not until next Fri (and even that's with lots of pestering to sky..) .

Would I be a total CF to ask neighbour if it would be possible to use his wifi until then? I would be really happy to pay however much he thought was reasonable and thought I could give him my number so that if it turns out 2 people on it means it's too slow for him I would stop using it!

I honestly think I will go mad if I have to sit in silence for a week. I've been alone since march and (sad as it seems) I've really found having podcasts/netflix playing in the background makes me feel less lonely and anxious. I've had already had to pay for 8GB data but need to keep that for work - it should be just enough for next week with a couple of video calls but def not for anything else! No TV so I can't drown out the silence that way...

As you’ve only just moved in and I assume don’t know the said neighbour well I would say no but then if you want to ask, ask.

When my neighbours internet was down we let him use ours. Tbh it didn’t work well so I don’t think he used it but he had the password. I was doing him a favour as we don’t have mobile signal here so when the wi fi is off you really are cut off from the world!

Assume you have mobile data? Maybe just buy some extra data for now!
