I am staying at my Nan and Grandads house this week.
They do not have a wireless router :(
If I connect to another unsecured network that I can find around the area, is it illegal?

technically yes but they most likely wont find out
What would consequences be if they did find out?Quote:

It's not like I'm using it for downloading etc anyway, just for browsing the net and checking emails etc.
they wouldn't do anything if they found out
They could try take legal action but it's highly doubtfull they are going to become aware of it unless they are operatives of MI5 or something.
But i doubt much would become of it if they did find out.
they may just be a little annoyed with you thats all :PQuote:

OK that's cool.
It's just I don't think I could go a whole week without the internet ;)
What bout Windows Live etc, still OK to use?
yeah everything will work as long as you can keep yourself connectedQuote:
