So what if a "teen" momentarily uses my network?

should be available for the person who pays for it to use. I bet you
password protect your home network?

No I don't. It's anti-social to do so.

If someone hogs my connection,  I can block the mac address. Never
noticed it until someone
was using Dropbox sync.

Wireless is a lot slower than my usual wired connection besides.

Good luck with that.

Reminds me of that bit in Full Metal Jacket where the drill instructor finds one of the guys has left the padlock off his locker and says, "if it wasn't for people like you there'd be no crime." :]
