If a neighbours wifi is unprotected all you have to do is connect to it from the list on your computer/device - it's not legal still I believe but you can do it that way

(it won't have a lock next to it on a list of available wifi connections)


if you goto a website which has https instead of http at the start of the address you should be secure regardless of connection. Should be...

Sorry Narnia I meant to thank Ratty, but darn it thankyou all it's just one great helpfest down here !!!

Looks like I'll be sorted tomoro now with neighbour.


PGC - looks like I will wait about that long too, but at least I am lucky with the plan B !

Hey KidKruger,


You could use the internet tethering feature on the iphone, enabling it as a modem.


But if you do check with your service provider first for the cost of doing this, just in case they are charging an hefty amount to use it.


Here is a link on how to set it up via the phone http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3574

I've had no phone line for 3wks and the cable won't be repaired till Jan 18th (apparently council permission has to be organised). I do have Bb and TV :-S


Neighbours on the other side of the same junction box have had no Bb while I've had no phone .....



.

I do work from home and intend to take them to the cleaners.


I do empathise that the snow we've had must play havoc with the underground cabling and it must be awful for the guys (usually chaps) that have to be out in all weathers at junction boxes and playing about under the pavement.


What really upsets me though is the denial (from others ..... those that are presumably cosy in their offices) and the fact that we have to ask for recompense. When I got the news on 23rd that I had 4 more weeks without phone (or fax which is still very important for me) I had to demand some courtesy facility.


I suggested a courtesy mobile or courtesy SIM card for my own (?15 for 300mins) .... this IS after all Xmas and NY and they must know a lot of my calls are international anyway..... the response made me wonder whether someone didn't know what day it was.


I had to do a real number in their shop (given that no line means not even access to an operator or emergency services).


A real one of these :

    • Is he local to South London? My father made his solicitor the executive. I, for many years had Lasting Power of Attorney to deal with all his finances including liaison with his bank and payment of his care home fees. I was also responsible for the sale of his home to release funds for care home fees. When he died, I notified the solicitor, obtained the death certificate and organized the funeral, cleared his care home of his possessions . Myself and my cousin were beneficiaries but my father had left a small sum of money to a man in the Midlands whose name was unknown to all of us including my step mother. It  took around 9 months for solicitor to establish that this gentleman had been deceased for a number of years . This obviously put additional charges onto the fees.
    • He's probably in his 70s, just doing a few more bits of work for his clients, many now deceased (ie executing their wills) who will be in their 90s. Everyone else who is younger than 90 will do their research and not use him,
    • I suppose we are lucky that our daughters both drive so do not have alcohol when they are with us.  I start my Christmas food shopping in October, when prices are generally lower. Turkey Crown from Iceland, gammon from Sainsbury's, get put into freezer as do any other bits and pieces i.e. prawns/seafood. Fruit and veg from Aldi nearer the time,. Having 3 vegetarians plus a gluten intolerant, I make much of the other food stuff including desserts. Aldi's version of Baileys is half the price, plus beers and ciders are good value. Neither of us are wine drinkers We generally have fish or vegetarian based food from Marks plus a dessert, I suppose I have always been a careful shopper - I was a single parent for many years where all my wages went to paying the mortgage leaving around £10 a week for food and other bills. My work colleagues used to mock me when I said that a chicken would last us all the week ending up boiling up bones to make a soup base. Old habits die hard even when you have a bit more in your pocket to spend.
