I'm not very techie but my laptop is wireless enabled, I just search for wireless networks in range, find one without security and connect to them, there's quite a few in my area with really good signals that are left on day and night, it's brill:D

My mum uses that as she lives next to my brother who has broadband, so no need for her own.

When I sign onto aol I have to log on via a user account. How does that work if you don't have the software on your computer?

A good reason to get a wireless network - my neighbour said there were loads of hot spots round here, we're on the corner of an industrial estate.

I don't have a problem with this personally but dh says it is theft and someone was successfully prosecuted for it recently.....

Mine also mentioned that you could be unknowingly causing someone to exceed their download limits which they could be charged for.

I'd like to join too. This is a great idea, hopefully I'll win back the cost of my broadband (approximately £150 per year).

Fingers crossed, and good luck everyone.

Oh and Merry Christmas! :xmassmile
