So, just wondering if anyone can help clear up this bit of confusion.

I have an office in Pennsylvania that sits on top of a very strong Xfinity public WiFi connection. About six months ago, I struck a deal with my sister where I would pay part of her Comcast bill in exchange for use of her Xfinity public WiFi login, so I could save on Internet costs. About two months later, my sister and her husband decided to discontinue their service and switch to a different provider.

Flash forward to now: four months later and my access to the WiFi on both my iPhone and office PC are still inexplicably running. This is not just isolated to this one spot. I have traveled out of state and to different towns and continue to have access wherever Comcast public access is available.

I'm not trying to jinx a pretty awesome thing, but I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on why this is happening?

The only conclusion I can come to is maybe it has something to do with the fact the devices were almost constantly connected with a service that is only designed to be used sporadically for an entire two month period? I'm grasping at straws.
