"Wi-Fi freeloaders would probably beg to differ..."

That would be me. I have not paid for internet access for the past year. I set up 2 14dBi patch antennas at each end of my house and have been getting free access to my neighbors wireless networks this whole time. I even set up a load balancing server that does round robin to each AP. So im surfing at 20Mbps/2Mbps. Pics available upon request.

Re: "Wi-Fi freeloaders would probably beg to differ..."

I have too many WiFi neighbors in my area that WiFi from my own machine is useless (too much interference), and of course, it kills my Bluetooth headset.
I'm currently only seeing 4 from my backyard office.
In my garage attic, I typically get double that amount.

I stick to the Netgear HDX-101 for connectivity... less issues running SSH/Remote desktop.

In my book if you can do all this you deserve the free inet, (and maybe free room and board at a state facility

Yes, to an extent. But I do know its messed up. Im proud that I learned how to do this, and in the future, I could use the antennas to set up a p2p link for myself or something.

Bull.

Starbucks charges no more for a cup of coffee than my local Yum Yum donut shop. $1.50.

And obviously you have no working knowledge of right or wrong.
