The opposite of the above, but interesting! This is the first time I've seen this - do I live near a CF member?

Seen any of mine ? I tend to call mine : "FreeBoredBand"
At home I have in addition to the " secured ? " wireless networks I have one that is open for guests, visitors and really anyone wanting to use the internet without the fuss of wep/wpa keys et al.
Its bolted down by VLAN / packet rate filters (100kbps burstable to my full bandwidth) and all is available is DNS,Web,SSL,IMAP(S),POP3 which is good enough for most people.
I did try an experiment in Camden where I set up a free AP for the purpose of replaying SSL packets : Plain illegal of course. 
So if you want to steal someones broadband make sure you don't do any online banking :p

Made the mistake of having our modem downstairs... So i was on wireless for ages... Then all of a sudden, a 2Gb link upstairs to down with 2xCat6  And then Cat5E upstairs. So, Wireless is a thing of the past here
