I second what is said here. There is no way to get free internet in this world. You have to pay for it. Why bother using dial up when cable is so cheap nowadays. Sometimes you are paying more for dial up especially if you are a heavy user like me. 100 hours a month? Sounds pretty impossible wouldn't it? I am only paying SGD 50.00 a month for unlimited usage of my cable internet.

Other than connecting to a wireless network using a network adapter (infrastructure connection), there is also getting it through another computer which has internet access. Something called an ad-hoc connection. I am sure you can look it up into wikipedia or google as to how to set it up. But your best chance of getting free internet is connecting to other wireless connections. A lot of people are not exactly IT-savvy, so you could tap into their insecured connection.

But be prepared for the internet to go off anytime, so it would not be wise to play MMORPG or download large files using their connection. My advice to you still stands, get your own internet connection and pay for it.

Im not completely understandig you here. Free internet is virtually impossible unless you live in someone elses wireless internet zone (lol). You will need to pay something. The prices of dial up have been dropping so mayby you can get that (for very cheap).

lol....thats what i used to do when i lived in austin with my brother in his apartment...we stole the wireless from next door....very fun

Sky also gives you free internet if you order a package from them.

You can also go to the library. The library near me has a fast internet and a wireless router which is used to connect laptops to the internet.

Just to get the obvious out of the way: using someone else's Internet connection without their permission is against the law in most countries and carries a prison sentence in most territories! For more information see the following articles:

• Laptop user arrested for "stealing" WiFi
  
• Stealing your neighbour's Net
  
• Michigan man busted for stealing Wi-Fi signal; could have received five years

With that out of the way, down to your actual question. Yes, if you use someone else's Internet connection they will very easily be able to tell you're doing it. They will be able to tell how much you've downloaded, when, using what device and possibly where you've been.

You can get wireless lan facilities from some places like colleges and good companies rooms and campuses
