Net Check

I looked out of my house last night and there was a people parked carrier with the words 'Net Check" written on the side of it

Has anyone heard of them?

There was someone inside but they didn;t seem particularly active, on closer inspection they probably were using a laptop and there were about 20 stubby aerials on the roof of the vehicle. I turned off my wireless router and next thing the people carrier was gone.

I'm not being paranoid, I couldn't care less, just intriged as to who they were and what they were up to. I have googled 'Net Check" but nothing relevant comes up.

Anyone whao or what they are?

    Why? what were they doing wrong? It may have been the Police see here

    :rolleyes:

    More importantly, is your wireless network adequately secured to prevent unauthorised use?

    Have you paid for your TV licence? Did they have goatee beards?
    Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:

    I'm guessing the signage on the vehicle means it isn't MI5 :-)

    What area are you in, and to be obvious, are they listed on yell.com?

    Do you live on a Council Estate?

    If so were they checking kids for Nits?

    It may have been the Nit Check Squad on a random swoop!
