Hehe I live about 9 stories up in the air and I get about 5 networks to choose from in my apartment... only wireless device I have is my PDA but I can surf the web while my wife does her term paper quite well!

And it's also a good reminder to protect my wireless network when I get my access point up and running...

Same story in my apartment complex. Lots of colelge students don't realize that they need to secure their gear and don't bother changing the "out-of-box" configs. I have 3 APs in range at the moment, not including my own.

Quite frankly, I don't mind if someone uses my inet connection. It doesn't hurt anything. In an apartment building, you could easily get a few people together and split the bill. As long as you have a router and NAT that is.
