I remember a few years back when I only turned on my VM modem (ntl:250) when I needed it, one day I turned my lappy on and was surprised to see I had limited access to the web.

I checked to see how I was connecting when my router was on but my modem was off.

I checked and it was a nearby neighours, bearing in mind that either side where in their 70s and had no computers, another didn't even have a TV so it left one, I asked him if his SSID was "XYZ" he said yes wit a "WTF how do you know" look and I told him what had happened and how to put it right which he did.

I also in my router blocked his MAC.
