FWIW - Comcast policy is only to charge you if you want extra IP addresses. Their installer told me they don't care what goes on behind a router and don't want to know, as long as you don't pester them with home network questions.

There are different routers for the home market. The cheapest act like a "hub" instead of a router. The poster-child case for stealing bandwidth is for two neighbors to install wireless LANs and share the cost of the modem. This is compared to running a cable-tv extension out the window of one house and into the neighbor's window. The logical argument is then extended to equivalent wireless networks within a house and then to networks which are not wireless. TP
