Thats my point exactly, I couldnt care less if ten of your neighbours and you joined together to share one broadband connection, to me thats fine, wouldn't worry me a bit, its up to you, but making profit from pensioners who unwitingly are doing something wrong is just unfair, unjust and its just as bad as aconfidence trickster.

I work in the IT business self employed like yourself, I could not dream of doing what you are, if I had an elderly next door neigbour who wanted to get online to talk to theire child in australia, I would have no quarms in spending £6 on a wirless network card and letting them share my connection, and I dont think NTL would care either, but profiting from a connection from pensioners is disgusting, and out of interest what did you charge them as a set up charge, as you seem to think it costs £40 for a network card (wirless or not).
