Recently i went to my friend's home, i saw him sing his friend's dataone account. He went to the modem home page: 192.168.1.1 changed his username and password to his friend's account. Then he started to browse.. all the downloads and uploads went into his friend's account!! i was amazed.. is this allowed??

am i allowed to change my username and password to my friends.. and use it??

It is against the terms and conditions to do so and line binding is soon taking place. I can't carry out the task in my city already.

if the friend has given him permission to use his account then even if he comes to Know about it [service records] it will not make any difference

It is a offence according to the IT Act 2000

Internet time theft
This connotes the usage by an unauthorized person of the Internet hours paid for by another person.

it wud b illegal if u do it without ur friend allowing u 2 do it

if ur friend gives u his username and password and asks u 2 use his account then he is authorising u to use his account so then there is no question of unauthorised usage
