Home Broadband

[Kyajae]

I dont have a BT line and im informed there isn't any Cable infrastructure in my road.

What are my options for getting home broadband (apart from getting a BT line)???

If you have a laptop, buy a wireless card bus. If you have a desktop PC, buy a USB wireless link. Scan for unprotected wirelss access pointsin the neibourhood, hijack it and surf for free. (By the way, this is illegal of course, no, not buying a card bus or USB WiFi link, the other bit).

CHeers PAH i think it'll be the BT route, just wanted to steer clear of that monopoly but its unavoidable

i've tried jumping on the neighbours router but the gits arent as thick as they look, they actually have security setup

Tell them you've been testing a new security tool and it's highlighted their wireless network as being vulnerable. Say if they give you 5 mins you'll secure it for them, at no (noticable) cost.

Try it using a bigger & more directional aerial...

If you're into that kind of thing - try aircrack
