Bright house wifi hotspot?

[Cream Soda]

They have a lot of hot spots around my city and you log in with your brighthouse email and a password you set.

Has anyone had any experience w/ this? Is it like Netflix where like anyone can sign in/wouldn't be an issue to ask someone I know w/ Bright house for that info?

Or do they make it hard to share/restrict it to certain mac addresses, etc.?

Sounds like what Comcast does with their open Xfinitywifi hotspots. If it is; it's just home users who have a rented box that turns their service into a free hotspot for other customers.

It shouldn't be an issue as long as you use it within reason. They probably do have a cap of how many devices you can connect (or maybe flag it after so many different ones) but it's probably pretty high. I've logged on with multiple different phones + tablets and yet to run into a problem. I used to use it to watch TV on my lunch but then we moved buildings and there's no longer a hotspot in range of our carpark (unless I drive a few mins down the road)

It obviously gives you wifi and also lets you access whatever Brighthouse package you have on your box at home (Effectively make your phone/tablet/whatever another box). Person would have to trust you though as you can dick around with recordings/channel changing and order stuff from it.
