Re: Need help understanding... Broadband/WiFi please

Thanks Realist, yes, I get that now. But I'm confused with both Dingaling and yourself using the word PITA. Is it short form for something.



Edit: Just seen your translation

Time to get with it, and get hip. There are a lot of these short internet abbreviations:

ATB - All the best
BTW - By the way
IMO - In my opinion
IMHO - In my honest/humble opinion
FML - F**k my life
SWMBO - She who must be obeyed (i.e. wife)
AFAIK - As far as I know
FWIW - For what it's Worth
OTOH - On the other Hand
ROTFL - Rolling on the Floor Laughing

and of course many many others

Only if you don't have the device you are using protected

I bank all the time on my phone when out and about, I shop online when out and about, Some sites however won't allow transactions over a non secure ( one where you don't have to ask for a password) network to keep you doubly safe

With all due respect Missy, a van parked outside your house can receive a signal from your Wi-Fi and record every keystroke of your keypad even when it's coded...
If it's transmitted in can be hacked....
