well couldn't it be doing it the other way around and blocking certain MAC addresses while allowing all the others?

OP, does your neighbor seem techy enough to enable MAC address blocking? Is he real nerdy or just a regular joe? Cause I'm not certain this is your problem.

Would make more sense for it to just allow the mac addresses of the computers for their house

Me thinks the OP is either too embarrassed to post here, or too stoopid to figure out how to get his cheap butt onto the Interweb...

WTF? It's a 3rd degree FELONY to steal bandwidth? That's a bit harsh, should be a misdemeanor with a fine or 90day max sentance.

It's cause hackers can physically access a businesses network to steal shit so they made it a harsh penalty. This law was made before the advent of wireless access but unfortunately wireless internet stealing is considered the same thing.
