Be careful about leeching. I have a wireless setup at home. I was sat watching the flashing lights on my modem a few nights ago and discovered that even with the PC turned off the modem had traffic and was going he'll for leather, I turned on one of the PC's and connected to the modem and someone else in the neighborhood was connected through my network. I did a ping which was 10ms so they were close. I turned off the modem and have now setup a better password and so far no problems. We have a couple of wiz kids in the area so I am now keeping an eye on usage and turning off the modem when not in use. I thought about using a wired setup but I use an iPhone for access and we have laptops we use when on the verandah so wireless is very convenient.
