It sounds fair enough to me if you don't think she'll abuse it. You can always change the WEP key later.

As for the NTL T&Cs, I really can't see NTL getting rid of a customer for something like this, and frankly if they tried to enforce their T&Cs with me (I have used more than 3 pc to connect behind the NAT), I'd tell them to stuff it and get another ISP. Their loss.

The only points to consider is access to your shares, potential viruses, and the complications if you decided to stop it.
