Using customers wi-fi, etiquette??!

[Rupe]

This has not happened yet but I feel its only a matter of time, as i do more and more work emails on my phone while also on site doing tree work, a wifi connection would be great.

 

Just wondering if anyone has asked the customer of the day if they can log on to their wi-fi while working for them?? If so how do they take it? Is it considered rude?

 

I am sure it would depend on the customer and how you asked them, and I would only ever ask if its important but could it be seen as an invasion/intrusion to ask? I am not sure.

 

It would be great to sit on the front door step with a laptop and get some of the evening emails done in your lunchbreak! And you could emial the client the bill when your done!! Of course 3g is getting better so maybe it will never need to happen, just wondering if any has asked?

Have never asked. But a customer I work for lives a bit remoat and his Wi-Fi is open to use for everyone that works there.

Interesting question on modern etiquette, I think for emails etc 3G is enough.

Its not like having a dump in their bog but still a bit too familiar!

I've asked to use it a few times but only if I have a good relationship with client and its only when I've needed the Internet in a hurry, to deal with break downs.

 

 

Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!

I have Super fast EE on my mobile....but in the past but have asked to use wifi on site many times in the past and the customer has been only to pleased. never use my laptop anymore...my Galaxy note 2 is more than capable to run anything everytime...everywhere.

I have been known to drive around urban areas looking for an un encrypted wifi if I need a big down load while at work. Hasn't happened often, but i've done it to download maps and surveys in the past.

I'v had to do a big download at work too, I usually carry a little spade just in case.

 

The only time I'v asked the customer didnt know their password.
