It's good, but I know of 10's in my local area that aren't showing... so not sure how up-to-date it is...

In my street my neighbours haven't heard about security either - does anyone know what the legal stance is on this e.g. I if connect to the internet using their "free" wireless access point am I breaking the law?

Someboday has already been done for it http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4721723.stm although he was sat outside in his car - harder to claim he accidentally connected..

Adelaide
I read that Adelaide in South Australia have had the whole of their central business district made wi-fi. I'm only just getting it at my house!

Two thoughts:
1) I DO know about security but I, and most of my mates, keep open wireless networks (with everything on them well protected) so that if MY system goes down I can use theirs to find out what is wrong over the internet and vice versa. It's been REALLy useful when say NTL has gone down but Bt hasn't to check whether the problem is the router or the network. 2) Plausible deniability- i didn't download that sir- must be some one using my system! In all cases we try to name the SSID to the house so that anyone using it knows who it belongs to- sometimes people want to use, but would like to ask but who do you ask if it's got the default name!
