Hello facepunch,
I live in a shitty apartment. They claim to offer "Free wi-fi". The wi-fi is extremely shitty. It is down a great majority of the time, and the speeds are horrendous. I also have shitty, sparatic ping (900 is my norm) Also, people in my complex have used PirateBay, and now they say Cox is monitoring what we do.
Now, as most of you are think, "But, Playaz, why not just get your own." And, i would... If i could. They will not allow me to get my own internet as they have a contract with Cox.
Than, you will ask me, "But, Playaz, Just get a mobile broadband plan, they are cheap and Unlimited*" When they say unlimited, this is not always true, and they give a 5GB cap, which i will break within the first few days.
So, i come to you facepunch, what other options do i have. I thought i could possibly run through a VPN, but i can't seem to get any information on it
[b]TL;DR: I have shitty wi-fi internet, cant get cable, or mobile broadband. Other soultions?[/b]
[B]Are[/B] there any fixes?*
Aside from suicide, no.
Move. That or personally pay for the apartment to upgrade its connection, thats all you can do.

FinallyFake, Shit's a virus. Paying for a virus, lol.
Well it is called "Free Wi-Fi" for a reason. If it's stop complaining, it's free anyway. Also if other people are living in the apartment and is using it too then your shit out of luck cause your SHARING THE INTERNET.
Solution? Move

Contract?
Maybe you should ask the landlord about the internet problem.
Befriend someone in a building right near you, give them a few bucks (Or fucks) per month and buy a nice router. Another option is that if they have say, cable internet, pay for a DSL connection there and attach it to your router.
Another option is satellite, though that's usually limited to 200 MB a day or something stupid.

Internet speed =/= How fast/fail my pc is.
Manage to find other sources of open wifi and leach off them with a better receiver.
However this is also not so legal.

I have, they are "updating" it. 3 months later =/
yell at all your neighbors to stop downloading porn
Spread peanut butter evenly over your monitor, wait five days, then wipe it off. Your internet should be roughly 100 kb/s faster.
What's wi-fi short for?

Wireless Friction:engleft:
Spray Febreze everywhere to clean the air of odour causing substances so the air will be cleaner so the internet has more room so the internet can get to your computer easier so you'll have better internet.

Then why isn't it Wi-Fri?
I guess that sounds more like a philosophical question than an internet connection though.
