What could be wrong with that

Question: Eleanor was delighted with her new internet connection. She loved the fact that streaming videos and downloading music were so much quicker. And it was a bonus that it happened to be completely free.

Well, to say it was free was perhaps a little misleading. Eleanor paid nothing for the service because she was using her neighbour's WiFi connection. (It so happened that Eleanor's apartment was close enough to her neighbour's for her to use his connection.)
Eleanor didn't see this as theft. The neighbour had the connection anyway. And she was using only his excess bandwidth. In fact, a neat piece of software called Good Magpie made sure that her use of the connection never slowed her neighbour down by more than a negligible amount. So she got the benefits of his connection, but he didn't suffer as a result. What could be wrong with that?
