"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.

 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.

I see an AT&T peeking on top of the rack.

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

The scary thing is that you sound like you're proud of yourself.

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.

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

You should care if you're running an IT repair business off a stolen connection.
