Is the friends house isolated or are there neighbours?
If so one of them may have a wifi signal that reaches.
You can't legally just latch on to it and they should have it password
protected anyway but if they are nice people it might be worth asking.
Might break the terms of the service provider but for a short use
unlikely to be noticed. Some providers allow this to be done anyway on
a reciprocal basis such as BT Internet customers ,recent ones have to
choose to opt out ,one time you opted in. In these cases you don't
even have to ask. Just log in using your own details.

fairly isolated, their computer is very old and there is no router or
exteriro connection so i can plug my latop in. Also their very old
computer often crashes and is very slow!
hasn't got wi fi and I have to trun my mobile off when my friend is in
the same room or nearby as she gets a really bad headache.

Her garden is lovely though!!

There is a network i have seen appear at midnight which is not protected
but looks as if it might be a student as it doesn't have any security
but somehow I can't bring myslef to use it as I have no idea who she is !
