Selling is a big no-no with your internet provider. If they found out they
would cut you off - and maybe pursue some sort of civil action.
Sharing for free is a no-no with your internet provider as well. If they
found out they would cut you off - and maybe pursue some sort of civil
action.
On the other hand - If your neighbor somehow managed to access and use your
wireless internet connection - without your knowledge - well then - not your
fault. And if your neighbor wants to buy you dinner once a month because he
likes you - well that's pretty innocent.
