Did anyone read the site?

From the looks of it they have connection software that requires a user name and password. People leaching your internet and they not have a log?

And like what was stated earlier, I know every ISP I know of out there ships WiFi products with the network open and free. No hidden SSID or even Mac address filtering.

Silly idea? I am not denying that. But, most of the fears voiced in thie thread so far are baseless.

So whats the point? A log and a password? Big deal!

Again, your point?
Your responsible for your network security.
Last I looked my alarm system company gave ma an alarm but I have to turn it on.

First correct thing you said.

Nonsense.. read your ISP TOS then come back and tell us this. Don't cry here when they boot you or you get a lawsuit for illegal downloads.

I don't see the company mentioning a way out of this , do you?
