OK, thanks. I suspected you might be in a CYV. Presumably they are renters who don't want to pay for internet service? Is the CYV framed construction or concrete block? The concrete block seems to degrade the signal as I can't see my neighbors' signals and the designer homes are pretty close. Thanks for the info - this is very interesting.
