Our neighbour did some work on our modem some time ago and now every time we use up more download than we think we've used we think he's tapped into it.
If he has, your modem will have "connected devices" or a "DHCP leases" table. His device will show up in one of those (depending on your modem).
My neighbours had 5 devices connected and I have a print out of their device names, mac addresses and IP addresses.
