I have wireless at my house. It covers all 2000 sq feet, but when I get around to it. I will have CAT5 run upstairs to the bedrooms, and my second office. I prefer hard lines for my cable, and T1.

When I first moved in, my cable was slow. I thought someone was leaching. I looked at area connections, and there were 4 of them around. All slower than mine. Then I was in the laundry room, and up in the rafters was some wireless router up in there piping a signal.

Not sure if that was the old owner's creative energy for wireless, or some neighbor who thought that shit would be crafty for internet piggiebacking off new owner.

Either way, pulled the plug on that shit. Also had to close out my network to keep others from trying to use the signal. The people next door are up (lights on in one BR) all night. My best guess is WOW since they have some teens over there.

Anyways, signal and speeds back to normal.
