Took her several hours of pleading to telecom to talk them out of it, student was asian she claimed he didn't know WTF he was doin, and of course neither did she...... |

#54 | | Wyseman. Why don't you sort out your immediate problem first and tell us the Make and Model Number of your Router? |

#55 | | Even tho you MAY have agreed over the ph The "agreement" acknowledgment is recorded. TC won't acccept agreement with out the contract terms being spelt out & the customer responding that they DO UNDERSTAND the requirements of the contract. |

#56 | | Of course This makes the owner of the landline ph contract which of course also includes ANY attachments such as BB, liable for any usage incured after the demarkation point of the BB router connection point. |

#60 | | Nothing will help you, As it's a Black and white plan your on. You go over 40gigs, then charged at .02 per meg. What can't you work out ?? you have to pay. Or if you much around, then you may end up with no BB or Phone account. |

#61 | | Wyseman You still havent told us what it is you do on the computer that chews up 40gig normally a month. Do you use p2p apps? |

#63 | | If all the other alternatives don't work for you, you can always go to the media. With all the whooha about Telecoms new flat rate plan, I'm sure a few publishers would want to run something less flattering. It's definitely worked in the past for one family, but their bill was $10,000. |

#64 | | Secure your broadband first Ring Telecom technical support immediately and they will guide you through securing your broadband. I have 3 teenagers in house, run an internet business, we all download music, videos etc and I only use 6 to 10 gig a month. I also swapped from Telecom to World Exchange and pay $69 for telephone and unlimited broadband plus $1 a gig so $69 plus $6 to $9 total $78 a month plus usual tolls. |

#65 | | I think there is more to wysemans story then he is letting on. He avoids answering the question of what he is actually doing to get data transfers of 40gigs a month. I bet it has a lot to do with p2p and not much at all to do with wep hacking |

#66 | I like the Clear contract I have after dumping Xtra. Basic cost around
$40 month. Then $10 a 10 gig block for as much or as little as I use |

#68 | | Ive got a good idea! If you think people are taking advantage of you, try and see whos connected to your network and see if they have any network shares, or try and find some security exploits, you may be able to gain access if you know what you are doing, if you have any friends who are IT geeks, get them to give the offender a virus or even better delete their data! lol |

#69 | | What I have done is pretty low techchanged back to 20G with cap, put the wireless router in storage, use cables around house. |

#71 | | Talk about overkill wyseman. Why don't you just set up your Wifi router's security properly? YZXY Not! | |

#72 | | Small claims court? You have to be kidding!? What have telecom done wrong? Nothing. It's no one else's fault but you're own. Secure you're network. Then man up and pay what you owe. |

#73 | | Charging 1000% more than the competition because you know you can take advantage of people who are not technically savvy is wrong in my book. wyseman make sure you demand the log/statement of all the data use for the month. Telecom have farked up in the past, and anyone who charges on a usage basis has be able to accurately prove the usage. Definitely don't pay until they at least do this part. |

#74 | | Absolutely, get a statement, make sure they're not incorrectly billing you. But you agreed to the terms and conditions, you can't just turn around and have a whinge about it and not pay because the terms don't suit you anymore. You're security is you're responsibility, as it is with anything else you own. You can't take placemakers to the small claims court because you didn't lock your door, regardless of how much the lock cost. Your responsibility. |

#75 | | WPA2-PSK is not that secure My G80 can bruteforce crack an average key in less than 3 days with 20GB of pre-computed hash. My network is secured properly with a RADIUS server. |

#76 | | I do not believe you. TKIP perhaps, but not AES, and ONLY then if the password is a very poor one. I do not believe you. Tell me that the system your trying to compromise has a strong password. |

#79 | | Wpa2 PSK Can be cracked relatively fast using graphics cards. When I say relatively, i mean a lot faster then not using a graphics card to do it. |

#80 | | But it cannot be done with a strong password. Sure, a dictionary attack against passwords like dog and richard, and providing the person is using TKIP and not AES, but I defy anyone to do it against a strong password. I'm not saying it can't be done, but it can't be done against a strong password. Still, I suppose if people not know how to create a strong password, they deserve all they get. |

#83 | | I'm familiar with what's capable. If it's a strong password, and with today's graphics cards, you and I will be dead long before they could crack it. http://www.lockdown.co.uk/?pg=combi&s=articles |

#86 | | In Vista you can click on my network and you can see whats connected wirelessly , havent looked on XP to see if its the same. You should leave your computer on and check it now and again through the night or day , don't know if you need to refresh the screen or if it will just pop up, change your password regularly might help |
