Also, remember this?
My provider started doing it a month or so ago, with a few caveats.
- Advertising for the service says you can enjoy connectivity "wherever you are".
- The user agreement on the captive portal explicitly forbids usage outside your own home.
- Since it's implemented as a roaming network, you may end up connecting to someone else's modem even then.
- If you're at home, why would you use this instead of your regular network!?
- Anyone who knows your national ID number can create a login for this, or "recover" the password if you've already done it yourself.
Also, there is no opt-out, and modems for new customers have wireless settings locked down so that you can't even try. I managed to find an exploit to overcome both after 6 hours of raping the backend API with Firefox's developer tools, but seriously... it feels like someone didn't think things through here.
