Here too but this guy must be an exception, just when I needed one.
On a prior occasion decades ago, when I'd just gotten a laptop and I was
to leave on a translatlantic trip the next day, then too I ended up
using the next door neighbor's wifi, a different person then, and I was
lucky because a lot of stuff had to be put into the laptop before I
left. I don't remember why mine didn't work. Maybe I only had DSL then
and his was faster.

I think mine had a password. His was Comcast's other name, which
escapes me right now.
I made a mistake not changing the password to something I could
remember. they have to use one that no other subscriber to Verizon has.
I'd only have to use one that no other neighbor had and no one around
could guess, or use software to find. Didn't know how many times I'd
have to enter it, the printer, the cell phone, the next cell phone, a
TV, Alexa maybe, and a couple other things I didn't forexee and don't
rmeember. I should have made it shorter and easier.
