Darn internet is shut off

[Ashley]

They shut my darn internet, phone, and cable off.  Oh well that happens when you can't pay the bill.  I'm using my wireless and anyone who I can kindly bum internet off of.  My roomy gets paid tomorrow so by Monday I should have the net again. I'm so glad I started back to work.

Hang in there Ash, you know things are going to get better soon.

Don't worry, if any nice orange knives surface for sale while your away, I'm sure no one will buy them.............

Not anymore lol, now the companies send out routers pre-configured to WPA encryption, so even the technophobes won't leave their connection unsecured.

I hope it doesn't catch on too quickly

Sorry to hear that Ashley, but glad there are solutions available.

Finding unsecured networks to use when no one is looking is illegal in a lot of places, but I think most of us have probably done it at one time or another.  It is getting harder and harder to do though, as even a lot of businesses that advertise themselves as hot spots (like hotels) have begun to offer codes for their guests so those of us trying to get online in the parking lot are screwed.  Even my favorite restaurants hand me a code when I open my computer rather than allowing non customers to use the wifi.

Sucks, but I guess that's the way it is now...
