bye bye wi-fi

For the past year and a half, we have been using the internet for free. You see, we are fortunate enough to live near enough to someone, somewhere in our building or close to it, who is using wi-fi and has not bothered to do whatever has to be done in the Options menu to ensure that the nearby leeches cannot benefit from what he or she has paid for.

This all ended two weeks ago. Whoever it was has either uped and left or has figured out that others were getting something for free and has cut the connection. Waaaah! So now, we have to (gulp) pay for our internet connection. Heaven help us. It's so unfair.

Okay, it's not unfair but it sure sucks.

There are a few unprotected networks around my house. We pay, but it's nice to know I can "borrow" their connection if needs be. Maybe your neighbours are on holiday and the free connection will come back?

Fastweb are doing an interesting offer - 10euro a month for phone, tv and internet. That might be worth looking into.

Maybe you can convince a neighbor that they NEED wi-fi? We pay 1 arm and 2 legs for our internet and tv here in the States. Joe
