Unsecured Networks

[fossyant]

I'm back on-line......using a neighbour's unsecured network (they've had it like this way over two years) - my line was upgraded today from 8MB to 'upto' 24MB but it's now broken......won't connect - fault at AOL's end apparently......

Quite handy to have an unsecured network available...... !!!!!

if you are using his broadband, how many other neighbours are as well?
Don't you think Fossy my old mate that you should tell them that it's unsecured.

There are unsecured networks all over the place.

 

[ianrauk]

No... really? You don't say?

My point being that it's his neighbours and using someone else's connection without their permission is theft.
If his neighbour is aware then fair enough.

There are unsecured networks all over the place.

I don't know whose it is....could be quite a few houses, or indeed flats ????? It's not next door or next door but one as they have sky..... and sky labled routers....

Fair enough Fossy, at the end of the day, if someone can't be arsed to secure their network then it deserves to be stolen.

Note that's theft in a legal sense and if caught you would be charged just as you would if seen applying bolt cutters to a secured bike.
