Wireless points in Congleton

I switched on the wireless card in the pocketpc last night as I drove into town to get our indian meal. I was surprised to see 4 access points active in the town (at 7.30pm on a Friday night there is unlikely to be a business need for wireless access) active. Surprised because when I last did this about a year ago there were NO access points in Congleton at all.
Needless to say 3 of them were using out of the box settings, but 1 of them did have WEP encryption set. The other 3 had the default ssids of linksys,belkin54g set.

    One of my neighbours in Bradford has an access point with the SSID of ‘belkin54g’ but they’ve made st least some attempt to secure it – by MAC address filtering, I think. Damn them 😉 .
