Forget it lol, i will find out next week

Admin edit (Chris) : Oh, no you don't.

Original post:

I realise this is illegal and slightly immoral but i quickly connected to my neighbours unsecure wireless connection because i knew they had VM and i wanted to see if they had good speeds.
The speedtest from speedtest.net (unreliable at times) showed that they had 1500kbps download and 488kbps upload, the upload to me suggests that they are on the 10 meg package but was wondering if the 1.5 meg was a result of a congested UBR or because the unsecure router was at 2 bars signal and was set to 802.11b mode rather then G.
Congested UBR or was it the wireless signal causing bad results?
