i see it both ways because the ISP could see it just like the cable company... it is illegal for you to sell your cable to your neighbors but then with DSL you have a limited connection speed unlike cable

Not if there's nothing against it in your service agreement. Check it.

Illegal? Not sure. But I would not put it past an ISP to try to sue your for "theft of services". You are cheating them out of the money they should be getting for that person being on their equipment.
But I would be much more concerned about the legal position you could place yourself in by doing that. Because you accepted money for the use of your bandwidth, you could be held legally responsible should the person using it do something illegal such as child porn, spamming, sending harassing e-mails, download copyrighted material, etc. Any tracing of the source would bring the authorities to your door, not theirs. And even if you could prove that did it, you accepted money to LET them do it...
I would not place myself in that position.

May not be illegal. I can give you a link that deals with the internet connection Many of the problems can be solved by making software changes or small hardware corrections. Detailed instructions at http://tinyurl.com/yl62gz Try here if you can get what you wanted

If you are so brilliant, (that you feel such superior genius allowing you to attack others questions) why didn't you look at the previous question? The question you found it necessary to rudely address.Please answer oh superior being. My less blessed mind will not allow rest,until its' query is satisfied. This brings up the next obvious question. If your intellect is so advanced, why would you need to ask this question.

I would read through your user agreement before considering this as it may violate it. And as most ISP's are federally regulated it may or may not be a federal crime. You might want to do some research before proceeding with this.

It would also depend on if your a licensed reseller weither it'd be illegal or not and a licensed business capable of reselling the product.
