Dearest TW,
I'm staying in a hotel while doing a short term project for my employer. The wireless internet is outsourced to a local company and the speeds are great compared to most hotels internet access.
My problem is that the network is unsecured (no password) so at around 7 PM every night, when I'm returning from work, the network gets hammered and it slows to a crawl. I'm in a somewhat metropolitan area so I know people around me are logging on and probably downloading torrents and crap. I've tried calling them and asking them to secure it and they've done nothing.
Any suggestions? I'm looking for something that will justify enough risk that someone from the company will just come over and secure it. Kiddy porn? RIAA? These things might be a bit over the top but I'll go overboard if I have to.
Thanks.
