IMHO at that point it becomes the customer's fault.

Oh well, you've told her. If she isn't bothered about it then at least if your wireless goes down you might be able to 'borrow' hers.

One of our neighbours has an open wifi network, not sure exactly who though so I can't tell them (and if it's who I think it is, I don't get on with them anyway).

TBH I rarely use wireless atm... lousy batteries on both laptops :/

In this case her first name was the ESSID so it didn't require Einstein to work it out :) At least mine isn't personally identifiable, nor to the make of router :)
