Nothing interesting around here (except for mine
) All of my neighbors are idiots that use PC's and have the geek Squad setup their networks and computers.
Every network around is either "Linksys", "Verizon DSL", or "Default". On top of that, they are all unsecured.
My SSID on the other hand can be interesting...
My current on is "Get a Mac 7" (Apple should pay me), in the past I've had "Mary is a..." (Mary is a next door neighbor that sues us every year to get our trees cut down, because they "kill her tomato garden" that she doesn't water), and "Bill Gates is a douche".

the guy who used to live next to me was supposedly 'good' with computers and named his WIFI : THE MATRIX , totally unsecured .
I had to tell him ,but he didn't know what I was talking about , so I set up WPA2 on the network for him and his speeds dramatically increased between 8-10am and again between 8-9 pm ....we later found out that a traveling salesman had been stopping to use his network to start , then complete his sales work before going out on the road and again on the way home

My neighbor used to have a network called
thisisnotanexit
I'm still not sure what that means.
Most people around here just use some variant of their family name.

Mine's whoAreYou
I used to leave mine open until my douchebag neighbor started seriously leaching off of me.
It got so bad, I couldn't even do basic web surfing.
I cut him off once using his Mac address then he installed a new network card. I secured it after that.
The very next day, his kid knocks on the door and asks to use my computer because his is broken. Later I saw my neighbor and offered to come over and check his computer out for him. He turned white and said only his friend can do it because he does all his computer work... Busted... Douchebag!

Hmm, are there rules/laws for what you can name your wireless network? Because for the longest time I had my wireless network named "**** You".
With pleasure.
LOL that what my friend said also! I think i'm gonna change my network to like blow me or something...
