Question

I live in an apartment, and my neighbor in the adjacent apartment has filtered fiber Internet, and his router allows me to receive the network even inside my apartment. May I use his Internet, with his consent, or is this considered theft (gezel) from the Internet company, which sells the line for the use of the subscriber only?

Answer

Shalom u’vracha 

There is no prohibition of theft (gezel) from the Internet company in this. 

[Of course, one must ensure proper filtering, as with any Internet connection].
