I was using someone else's conection once and a while. Once when we where trying to get ours to work and other time when it just went out on us. Their conection has pretty much just become a backup in case I'm in the middle of something that I need a conection for and mine goes out. So annoying when another family member trys to conect their computer and changes something they shouldn't and you can't get it to work again for a few days or a week or two.
