Why do people keep wanting to "add a few bucks to the amenity fees" to get something that only a small number of people actually want? I am very happy with my secured wireless network.
What you people are suggesting by piggybacking on someone's unsecured WiFi network without getting their permission is illegal and if caught you could be in big trouble. If I was able to find out who had the unsecured WiFi networks in my area I would go over and help them secure it. it is the least I can do as a neighbor.
I did write a letter to the editors about securing the WiFi networks. It was technical. They printed it. My golfing buddies read it and said they did not understand a bit of it. I asked it they had a WiFi network in their house. They said no. I told them they were safe but if they ever considered one, please let me know so I could secure it for them.
