If you live in a condo, what about sharing your internet on the guest WIFI network? Does it make sense? Will people misuse it? (It probably violates TOS, I guess.)

Not sure about any TOS but I’ve been sharing my WiFi for more than 10 years now. I live in an appartment block in an Eastern European capital.

I guess it depends. At least in my contract for connectivity is a clause then I cannot share the connection with people not living in the same household. I would imagine it is fairly common.

Does that mean you cannot have guests using your connectivity? I'm assuming they still can. What if they stay outside your apartment? What about staying outside apartment for one week? So many questions

It excludes people even temporary present in the apartment. So guests are supposed to be fine. If they are outside and their phone auto-connects, it is technically a breach, yes.
I asked about it and have in writing that the intention is to prevent sharing with neighbors. But I mean, there is no way to enforce it either way so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
