Am staying at my mums house,brought my lap top to do some paperwork stuff!

My mum doesnt have internet at all, but one of her neighbours has a unsecured broadband which my laptop has picked up.

So I am connected and using it, AIBU??

It's open to interpretation I guess.

It's illegal therefore I think YABU. Pay for your own.

seriously!?

"if it's only for browsing, I guess it's ok"

what?!

you know what, say I go in your house (through the window, of course) and take your lippi without asking, because I only need for a little sprousing up before I go out with some friends. and then I do it again the next day. and maybe a week later. I mean, it's only a lippi, why make such a fuss? and I am leaving it at your house, it's still yours for keeps.

STEALING IS TAKING SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T BELONG TO YOU. It doesn't matter if it's something concrete or abstract. That's what OP is doing- hence- she is stealing and therfore being vvu.

Also be aware that whoever owns the network would be able to see anything that you send across it - fine if you're just browsing (at least from a personal security point of view), but you might not want to log onto your bank account...
