Everyone is missing a trick here!!!!!
Almost everywhere now you can get on BTFON, which is BT openzone , check your wifi networks right now and see! - if you're a mobile phone subscriber it's very likely you'll have a username and password to use their hotspots - for free. Just call your operator and ask for username and password.
And.. well if not... of course for educational purposes only - KisMac will quickly crack a wep key.... not that I ever use that. |

Guess we almost have explored all options? T-Mobile has a PAYG stick (£2 a day, £7 a week or £15 a month) Stick costs £9.99 + £10 top-up |

Adam - Yup, we did miss that one. How many folk turn on BTFON ? My Netgear router's set up the way I want so the HomeHub is still in the box , so no BTFON from me .
Rob - sounds like a great offer |

You could drop in to the local coffee shops, pubs etc. with free WiFi. Libraries often have Internet access. As an FSB member I have a Regus card, if you're a member you could try that. Of course there's always dial-up .... |

Hi Danny We used the BT cloud when we first moved into the office. We couldn't have survived for 2 weeks without it, although we had pretty unreliable connection, it did the job sort of :) |

WEP may be dated, but out there, how many 'normal' people know this?
99 % of all users run their routers in the factory default config. Fact.

Het danny, I agree that your most cost effective route is to go begging from your new neighbours - I'm sure you'll pick up 2 or 3 signals there. Plus it's a good ice breaker to be asking favours so early on!! ha. As mentioned, BTFON is available as lots of BT Home Hubs around (It's even available at my house as we speak) and some mobiles (O2 Iphone for example) include free access to BT Openzone so you could use your mobile over the BT WiFi. Good luck with the move matey. Shaun |

Quick update - sent in the Objective Eye diplomatic core (aka my girlfriend...) to speak to Virgin again. The long and the short of it is virgin will be disconnecting the old house on Wednesday and connecting the new house on Thursday. Reducing the down time from 10 days to about 10 hours. Three loud cheers for virgin! |
