Just a small warning to all Internet users on the beach.
With all the new houses going up, you may want to make sure they your Internet is secure and not open.
Someone or some people have been piggy backing my parents internet and have been using up all their bandwidth (I believe that's how it's spelled?) with downloads. They didn't realize this was happening until the internet provider contacted them about going over their bandwidth. This explains why they went from a super fast connection, to crawling so slow they shut the computer off because there was no point trying to go on the internet. Not all the time just sometimes. We now know it's when the other person/people where downloading using my parents internet connection.
This all started after people started moving into the new houses.
My Husband went down today to see what this warning email from the internet provider was all about. After checking the log, we know who was doing it. He also secured the network so it can not be connected to.
So if you don't want people to steal your internet connection while you pay good money to have it, please, make sure it is secured.
