I've been wrestling with this moral dilemma for quite some time. After all, the neighbour is a nice lady and probably deserves better, although her son clearly knows nothing about router security.

Criminal damage to other peoples cars and nothing more then petty theft of other peoples bandwidth...
and now your worried about "moral dilemmas"... sounds like you have no morals to have a dilemma over... so just carry on as normal (as im sure you will)

Just because someone doesn't have enough security on their connection, doesn't mean you can help your self to their bandwidth.
If someone forgets to lock their front door it doesn't mean you can go in their house and take what you like.
You should be ashamed of yourself and inform your neighbour of their security problem.
