    The range can be between 30 and 100 metres from the router.

    Your neighbours could be using your connection and not paying for their own. Without proper security, you can't be sure.

    Also, you probably have a download limit on your package (e.g. 40gb). Someone could use all this up within a few hours, therefore causing you to receive a very large bill.

    There are also websites dedicated to producing lists of unsecured wireless networks - this is something known as wardriving.

    thats a good point, but one side of me is empty at the moment, and otherside we are friends with them, also these are not techies but i will be vigulant
    All the big powers they've silenced me. So much for free speech and choice on this fundamental human right, and outing the liars.

    Does this change the subject?
    I am interested in using a dongle attached to my lap top when caravan touring
    Which is the most economic dongle

    I am away from home for about 3 weeks at a time but do visit some remote areas

    Thank you

    The most economic is the one that actually works in the areas in which you need it to do so.
