I'm new to wireless networks - so why do we still pay for the internet?

[heavy_duty]

So I fired up my new Acer lap top and it found 7 networks right away for me to choose from.

So should I now call my ISP and tell them to fuck off?

no you are borrowing your neighbors internet. just make sure they are not secure networks or it wont let you connect.

they won't all be on all the time. some day you won't be able to find one when you really need to get your porn on. don't be a schmuck. Now, if you're going to d/l music illegally go thru the other guy's router so it traces back to him, not that I would do that.

Yeah my acer did the same thing. I went out and got the comcast bundle pack yet did not buy a wireless router at that point when I bought this laptop and as soon as I turned it on to check it out it connected to the neighbors.
I like how it only connects to non secured networks, makes it easier to use the internet when going away from home.
I just did not like how it made the neighbors my default so I had to sit here and mess with it and figure out how to make it not connect to theirs...Still does!

Not to step on toes here but don't you think we should switch stars? The normal starts are blue and larger (better than the typical plain old golden star). Therefor normal plat should have the suckier stars while lifetime get the nicer ones...
Just a thought

when borrowing a connection your uporn connection will be too slow...lol
