Provided they don't have a firewall to block you out of their network, yes. Anytime someone has a wireless network in their house, it extends farther than the house usually. You could theoretically drive coast to coast, and hardly ever loose a wireless network to tap into.
Also, If they have a security-enabled network, you will need to type in a password to get into the internet. Most people have a security-enabled network, because who wants someone else gettting on internet they are paying for? I have a security-enabled network. It works great! And you can see who is on your wirless router and you can kick them off any time!! That is what I like about secuity-enabled networks! Well, bottom line, you can get on someone else's internet, but you will be promted to type in a password, unless they have an unsecured network!

∙ 13y agoThe answer is no. Depending on where you are on the planet, using an open, unsecured (possibly public) wifi connection usually isn't outlawed. Some neighbourhoods in the U.S. and parts of Canada have begun to install public wifi hotspots for the neighbourhood to use. There's a difference between using and open connection to check emails, facebook etc. and using an open connection to download pirated software or child pornography. And, if someone is angry at you for using their open connection, tell them it's there fault for not securing it! Hope this helps!
