My old neighbor told me he does satellite Internet for free but no other information when I asked. Most likely pirated somehow but he wouldn't elaborate.

Not even sure if it's possible but he was into all kinds of tech stuff and lived in a tractor trailer that was setup very nice. And to mention had 2 old looking (throw away style) dishes on rotating antenna style directional motors. Also had at least 10 desktop style computers with just as many screens. Seriously the inside of this thing could star in a science fiction movie.

Why I ask is Motorola started the cellular business based off satellites but before that got off ground (heh) the land based cell towers grabbed the market and Motorola bailed. The satellites they put up there fell into the ocean and that game was over. Never really looked into it but am very interested in it. I would guess there would be quite a lag but for what I do that would be just fine.

Any clues for me?

Probably using a hacked system/chip. Carriers used/ still try and spike them. Nothing is free any more, and be legal when it comes to services.

I take that to mean he is using yours or some other unsuspecting neighbors wireless internet with his satellite dish.

Doubt that, his 'home' was mobile and I had E-glass which stopped signal within a few feet of the windows. WHere I was we had quite a space between properties.

This was a while back before I moved. I have nothing worth stealing.

There was a youtube about 4 years back of a guy using a satellite dish picking up free hotel wifi access from 5 miles away. He lived on a sloping hill that gave him that ability.

Apparently from dish to computer can all be done thru a signal boosted 30ft. usb cable. One guy out there says he's able to pick up his friends 2miles away running 3gb, he is able to capture upto 300mb

of course he also says in video he pays his friend $20 a month...

my guess is he only ever visits him once every 3 months, then forgets to. lol!

Cebu just pay a large roll of cable and run your own to the pole down the road and also go by the pawn shop and some tree climbing gear
