my neighbor's internet isn't very reliable

So here I am, posting from my GFs bed, and stealing internet from one of her neighbors. It keeps on cutting in and out although the signal strength is high. I can't quite figure out where he is, but he's close, and AT is taking forever to load, thus impeding my neffing. It makes me very upset. What else should I do? The other wireless networks are all @ low signal strength, but two of them aren't WEPed...maybe I should try one. Or get one of those big parabolic antennas and an orinco card to connect it to :).

Wow, what a coincidence, my internet is slow too.... maybe it's gonna go down soon? Wonder who broke the internet.

1) Pics?
2) Stop stealing internet before he comes over and breaks your kneecaps
3) Netsend him a message that says "you're not secure, come see (name) in (apartment/address) to help secure it"

1) you wish :)
2) he has no clue where I am at all, and if he/she didn't know enough about networking to enable a WEP key, they certainly can't do much else
3) then I'd have to run an ethernet cord when I am posting from here. That isn't very l33t.

Common sense dictates that he's probably using up his bandwidth leaving very little for wankers like you :)

Well my DNS suffix is austin.rr.com, so I have cable, but it's interesting because the throughput really sucks. Wondering what he's doing?
