or just DO IT!
Well,.. If I'm paying $50 per month for DSL and I find out that some cheapazz is leeching my bandwidth,.. then I'd be pretty pissed. However, I guess if I am not smart enough to turn off "broadcast" and turn on "WEP" security, then perhaps I deserve to have my bandwidth leeched anyway. Hmmm. Anyway,.. I think it is wrong and should be illegal because why should one person have to pay for the signal and the other person gets that same exact signal for free?Quote:

Yup. Most people in my area don't realize that I could just go change all their router settings with no problem. Not that I would, but I could.Quote:

As a novice in this, I am not sure how to clock the speed of my Internet connection. I know that it is many times faster than my dial up service…Quote:

Get your own.
just run the speed test Rookie.
How is this any different from some one driving around looking for a "hot spot" to use. Do they know whether this "hot spot" is there from some one wanting to set up a free access point or some one simply left their access point open?Quote:
