wep is crackable but last i heard it takes from several hours to severl months depending on how many packets are going accross the network.

for example you would need 5-10 million encypted packets for the app to get the code and i certianly aint got the time to sit there gathering all those packets lol

then theyd need to spoof your mac address

so as i said earlier although a wireless lan can be hacked its not that easy and i seriously doubt someone would spend a long time trying to break into a wlan just to use an NTL internet connection LOL so id def go for the wireless lan
