The amount of unsecured wi-fi in London is scary. I've noticed it more now I have an iPhone and it's automatically detecting them as I walk round. I only have to walk around the West End for a couple of minutes before an unprotected signal pops up.15-01-2008, 17:26
Actually I don't think it's scary at all. I run my AP open deliberately, and I know lots of people hop onto it.15-01-2008, 18:02
I tend not to piggy back on other peoples wifi but i do think the government or mayor of London should be thinking seriously about providing Londoners with free wifi. Google are doing it with the city of San Francisco. Why can't the same happen here?15-01-2008, 18:48
I do the same as Phil (leave it open deliberately). You never know when a person will be passing by your house, get shot and have no one around to help but their handy laptop/N800 (the shooter took their cellphone) and your wifi connection to email someone and ask for help. Serious stuff.26-02-2008, 00:08
A friend who is a computer expert has had his wireless hacked by a lad of about 13 every week for close on a year, he says he is totally at a loss on how to stop this lad. Unless someone sits and downloads great amounts of music chowing bandwidth using your wireless conns, leaving it open is not a problem.02-10-2008, 12:26
