Stealing the Internet From Your Neighbor is Easier Than You Think! But DON’T Do It!
I’ve been a computer technician for over 35 years. When Wi-Fi first came out I thought, “This is what I’ve been waiting for… now I can connect to my laptop from anywhere in the house.” I was right! Unfortunately, so could lots of other people!
Actually, I was probably the first one to connect to my wireless router from one of my neighbors. I’d taken my laptop over to his house to help him design an Excel spreadsheet and while I was working, I noticed that my laptop was ‘on-line.’ Even though I was four houses away and across the street, probably 200 feet at least, the signal was rock-solid and I could surf the Net at will.

Do You Need Faster Broadband?
More and more of us these days have become reliant on our broadband connections for all sorts of things, whether it is for working from home or enjoying the education benefits and resources that you get online or whether it is to surf the Internet, socialise, or even do some shopping. However, one thing that can make your Internet experience more of a frustrating inconvenience rather than an enjoyable experience is slow connection speeds.
The first thing that may spring to mind if your broadband connection is slow is that you need to get a higher specification broadband service. However, before you rush off and do this you should bear in mind that there are other factors that can affect the speed of your broadband connection, and this may have nothing to do with the actual service itself, which means that upgrading to a faster speed may not actually benefit you but will still cost you more money each month.

How Broadband Works
From fibre and cable to ADSL and VDSL, there are many ways of delivering broadband into your home. The United Kingdom is beginning to roll out next-generation broadband and with one of the main providers committing to invest £1.5bn on fibre optics the future looks rosy for lovers of the internet.
The days of dial-up are long gone and broadband has replaced the older, and much slower, way of connecting to the internet. Broadband works a completely different way and allows you faster connection speeds because your telephone line is divided into many different channels meaning information can travel in parallel streams as opposed to one single line.
