Free broadband
Well it is for me anyhow thanks to a badly configured router. There I was in the kitchen making a brew and the ipaq "boingd" and it picked up actiontec - a wireless network.
After investigation, 192.168.0.1 turned out to be an actiontec router, but there is no password protection or any protection of any type. I was gob smacked it would be so easy to just change the password and all !
At least 192.168.0.2 had their shares configured.
After using my own dns, I could surf anywhere on the web. I suppose im more suprised at the fact that people round here might have a wireless router.

Remember next time your downloading windows longhorn, that "how could it be me officer I couldn't afford broadband, here are my bank statements to prove it, no broadband payments or modem, so no court evidence"
Mind you T1 would be nice and our chap doesnt half like online gambling judging by his urls
