"Share broadband and reduce expenses!" Owners of the Xindragon apartment complex in Huilongguan have come up with a clever way to save money by modifying their wireless routers to cover a wider area, and sharing their flat-rate broadband with other neighbors by placing the router outside their window. Yesterday, the owner who posted this idea online said that they came up with this trick for two reasons: it's fun, and it saves money. "Is there any nearby neighbor who wants to share the broadband connection?" Yesterday, I saw this post titled "Share Broadband and Reduce Expenses" on the Xindragon forum of Huilongguan. The poster mentioned that since they have a flat-rate broadband service, they could extend the antenna of their wireless router, allowing neighbors to connect via a wireless network card, thereby sharing part of the internet usage cost. http://bjadsl.cn/read.php/95.htm
