Said ex girlfriend just slobs on the sofa all day playing fifa. As an incentive for her to move i am about to phone the internet company and kindly ask if it is at all possible to freeze the connection for a few days so she will bored enough to hopefully pack her bags.

Change the SSID and password and hope that she doesn't know how to factory reset it.

How will the DVR upload the footage from the cameras if there's no internet? However, if it uses it's own connection via sim card or something then just remove the router.

This, can't see an ISP "pausing" the connection, that'd be a lot of faff for them. Easiest way is as above change the ssid and password so she can't connect to the internet.

That won't stop her from simply plugging a length of network cable in and going wired, that's assuming she isn't already on a wired connection. Far easier to just remove the router.

Considering how technologically illiterate a lot of people are. She may not be able to figure that out.

My niece had a hissy fit because she couldnt get internet on her laptop.

Turns out because she always has internet at home and school which are the only 2 places she really ever goes. She thought the internet/wifi was just there all the time. Did tell her to try an ethernet cable, but she had absolutely no idea what one was so I didn't bother explaining how to plug it in, she just had to make do with no internet and actually go outside. She actually ended up having actual fun.

That is an extremely good point I guess it’s a good job the ISP couldn’t do it.

Problem with that is the cameras relying on the router to provide internet.

I'm not sure my missus would know what an Ethernet cable is or to use one between the two.
