    you can't, someone never set up passwords on their wireless. Beware all you that don't have passwords on their network! I will steal your bandwidth!

    I forked out a whopping £18 a month for 512K broadband with Virgin.net, no contract, no connection fee and a free ADSL modem. About two weeks later my service got upgraded to 2.2Mg - FREE-OF-CHARGE!!! :waycool:

    Letsee, I was on 512kpbs with PIPEX directly connected via ADSL USB modem to my computer, my mum connected to the internet through mine. After that I set up a file server downstairs that ran on Linux (much more stable), I had the modem connected to that one and me and my mum connected through that. Although it was a pain in the neck because there was a problem and we kept getting disconnected so I had to go downstairs and manually reset the connection.

    Now though I've got an ADSL Router and Bridge so there's no need for the file server and it's sooooooooo much faster and easier to use. :D

    Monthly allowance? Those are the work of the DEVIL! I would fill a WHOLE MONTH's allowance in a few hours, I prefer no limits, even if I have to pay extra.
