Neighbours broadband

[FawnFrenchieMum]

Would this be a neighbourly favour or CF to ask?
We are moving broadband providers, the new one has disconnected today and they are coming tomorrow 8-1 to fit the new one. I have to be at home for this to happen.
I’ve just had a meeting drop into my calendars that I can’t really get out of so was thinking of knocking next door and asking if they would mind me connecting to theirs just for the morning.
Background - next door is too elderly ladies. We smile and say hello if we see each other but it’s rare we do. They don’t go out much at all. Have lots of other neighbours on the street that we are on much friendly terms with who I wouldn’t think twice to ask, unfortunately their connections wouldn’t reach.

YABU - Don’t even think about asking CF
YANBU - Of course you ask, why wouldn’t you?

Would you ask if it was a middle aged, not so sweet, man ?
It sounds like you’re trying to exploit their possible vulnerability, given that you’re not that close to them compared to other neighbours, on that basis I’d say no, sort your own Wi-Fi out.

So you updated yours whilst working from home which was fine but me doing it makes me a CF?!

My boss knows exactly what’s happening, I have plenty of work I can do offline and I’m owed hours of time back if I couldn’t.

Thanks for everyone’s input. I guess I never really thought about the security implications as I knew I’m not dodgy and would have logged straight off after the call but appreciate what everyone is saying.

Thanks to those who offered useful advice about it being fine one my hotspot, I’ve tested it this afternoon a couple of times and it’s been fine.

For those who thinking I’m trying to pull a fast one. Boss totally aware and fine with me having no internet for the morning. I have plenty of offline work. Mobile email access and owed lots of time regardless.

I had ruled my diary out but this meeting involved many people not just me and one I’d really really like to be in (sort of thing I’d dial into on annual leave for example).

I would not ask. I would use my phone data.

I would be annoyed if the neighbours asked just for 1 day of no Wi-Fi.

I would probably say yes but tell them I had to set up a guest account and that would take a couple of hours.

No way does anyone outside of my home get my pwords. Kids friends get pw but only as they are using it inside my home and they are not my neighbour who could in theory connect outside of agreed times. I am not going to mess with changing my password after giving it to a neighbour.
