Legal Question in Technology Law in Maine

Internet access

Is it illegal to share an internet connection which is located on a neighbor's property, and is paid for by that neighbor? He is a friend of mine and has offered to share his connection with me free of charge. His internet connection is a fixed resource (DSL), all I would have to do is run a wire to his house and connect to his network.
