The thing about having an Open Wireless connection here in Australia is that we generally have caps on the amount of bandwidth our internet plans come with. Once you go over that cap, your connection becomes rate limited and it feels like you're back in the stoneage. So, even for that reason, sharing connections here in Aus is a bad idea because all you need is one bandwidth hog to screw up your internet. Blame Telstra :(
