multiple high demand devices operating at the same time might be an issue for those with families.
talked to a cable internet installer while he was setting me up. told me about this call he got where a lady was complaining about slow internet speeds. when he gets there, he checks everything, and he can't figure out why it's running so slow, then he notices an ipad that's updating it's software.
On a hunch, he asks how many tablets she has.
Spoiler alert: she had 6-8 of them, and she was updating all of them at the same time. 🤣
In the Philippines, in 2017 we were using a WiFi hotspot device in the Bukid (Mountain) where we have a house. Barely good enough to check e-mail, it suddenly wasn't even able to do that. Come to find out there were at least ten people leeching off my internet. Everyone near our house is related...
I just changed the password, note: They are still using that WiFi Hotspot gadget in the Philippines, all these years later. It was only 30 bucks or something...
There are 3 people in my house, and we are all hooked up, my son streams games and downloads, uploads at the same time two of us are streaming news, weather, programs, movies, it never lags. My son got it for the house 4 years ago, never looked back.

Sounds like you need to change the password every few days. What a bummer.
Set your SSID to hidden or not broadcasted lol.

...I may have bummed unsecured internet a time or two in the past...

well, this was years ago when I heard the story, and probably before that it happened.
