You’re still stealing, as the neighbor is paying for the availability of bandwidth, whether they are using it or not.
- megablast 5y agoThey are paying for the light too.
- drivingmenuts 5y agoBut using the overspill light doesn’t reduce the availability of light.
- littlestymaar 5y agoNor does using unused bandwidth though.
- drivingmenuts 5y agoBut the point is that someone is paying for that bandwidth to be available, regardless of it being used or not, at the moment. Light is not consumed, it is produced. Someone else put it that spillover light is gleaned. Bandwidth cannot be gleaned in the same way. You don’t have excess bandwidth like you would have light.
