A SINGAPORE teenager faces jail after he admitted illegally connecting to his neighbour's wireless internet network.

Garyl Tan Jia Luo, 17, was sentenced under the Computer Misuse Act and could go down for three years.

According to the Straits Times Tan's lawyer said the teen was "deeply remorseful" for his actions.

While District Judge Bala Reddy said he would not give Tan the minimum sentence, he asked the teen if he would be willing to enlist early for the mandatory national service "as a way to stay out of mischief".

Tan agreed and the case was adjourned for the judge to think about a sentence.
