My elderly mother has a landline only plan. Out of curiosity, I connect a laptop by WiFi using the password on bottom of modem, and get internet access. Since it costs $15 less than their cheapest internet plan, would this be fraud? Of course internet access is needed for VOIP phone, but I presume it is throttled to some very low speed.

More likely she has been provided with the very cheap internet servide for geriatrics > Of course internet accessis needed for VOIP phone, > but I presume it is throttled to some very low speed. Trivial to do a speedtest
