I was referring to the ISP's TOS. One of the restrictions that my ISP, Comcast, has on its residential customers:
" make available to anyone outside the Premises the ability to use
the Service (for example, through WiFi or other methods of networking), in whole or in part,
directly or indirectly, with the sole exception of your use of Comcast-provided WiFi service in
accordance with its then-current terms and policies;"

I'd just bury some cat5 in appropriate conduit and call it a day.
You can also get ca5 cable that is rated for burial, without conduit. It's pretty expensive, compared to regular Cat5, but the installation may be easier than dealing with conduit. You can go up to 100 meters with Cat5, so it should be pretty easy to connect neighboring houses. I am not sure if you would need to worry about electrical or wiring codes if you wanted to connect two buildings with a Cat5 cable.

My point was that this will not be a "battle" at all, unless the ISP finds out about it. I don't see how they could find out about it. Even if they went into the OP's parent's home, they could not easily tell that a wireless device was connected from another home. Even the "connected devices" section in the Router's interface cannot determine where the devices are physically located. I am not advocating that anyone violate their ISP's TOS; I am just thinking hypothetically. . .
Is it realty worth stealing service and taking the chance of being charged with theft of service?
Is it really theft? His parents are letting him do it.
