see that's because you give them a credit card number for them to charge to, when you are signing up they will ask you for payment options n you must choose pay by phone bill, you only get this option if you choose to cancel the installiation at the payment option, put in ur number and then cancel before your

Oh I see. Damn, well we got 16 months out of em, and another 11 weeks of downtime after they refused to let us go. Their service is still poor, riddled with holes and uses the worst browser I've ever seen. I'm glad to have found a norml ISP.

IM1 I would love to know as well. I have a next door neighbor that has a network with WEP/WPA encryption.

so if someone had a neighbor with a wireless network and without WEP security, hypothetically speaking, that person could buy a wi-fi card, build a cantena and recieve free internet by piggybacking off their hypothetical neighbor?

Hypothecially speaking-yes. But I am more interested in improving the range and power of my network so I can access wi-fi networks that are on T-1 connections such as public libraries but are 5+ miles away from me. I read in PCworld that there is an author that published a book on how to increase your wi-fi capabilities 10 folds beyond even N specifications.

Even if you could carry a stable connection that distance, I'd be surprised if you could make any good use of the high speed they have. Plus of course, institutions such as libraries are far more likely to have encryption than the average home.

To Sammorris: Well the local library branch offers free wi-fi internet for anyone with a wi-fi connection but once you walk out the door the connection strength falls down to about 30% and if you are about 12 yards away the strength falls to about 5%. A lot of public library systems around the country(USA) offer free wi-fi.
