Sup /g/, for a while now my neighbor in my apartment building

pay for your own internet you cheap fuck

t. someone whose parents pays their $500-1000+ annual internet bill

>>60082614
>500 bucks annually for internet
that's reality in murica?

>>60082614
I've been self sustaining since age 18 because I'm not a worthless NEET faggot

>>60082673
Unless you live in a third world shit hole that's pretty much the standard.

>>60082709
As have I, but unlike you, I don't toss $500-1000 into the trash every year just so I can feel like a big boy for having my own account with the internet company

>>60082564
do you happen to share a wall with windows?
that is, is there line-of-sight if you both leaned out of a window?
if so, put an antenna out the window, so they have a clear path

>>60082729
There are no third world countries in Europe and the average price for 160 Mbps internet is around 20€ a month (That's 260 USD annually) .

>>60082777
stay poor faggot

>>60082781
>There are no third world countries in Europe
Bullshit.
>the average price for 160 Mbps internet is around 20€ a month
Show me a Western country where that is the case because quite frankly, I don't believe you.

>>60082794
stay wasteful, faggot

if two people get what they need by sharing a resource, why not split the cost? both pay half and are satisfied, there's no downside

Glad you didn't say "First World", so i'll suggest Romania.
If you were to go with First World, you'd have to look at modern nations instead of Western shitholes. Our stuff is outdated, they have the privilege of coming late to the party and building it all from scratch with more recent tech.

>>60082805

keep using that world, I don't think you know what it means

>>60082780
Unfortunately not, they are a floor down and on the other side of the building.

Ideally I would just plug a wifi extender into one of the outlets in the walkways, which would work great, but undoubtedly someone will either unplug it or bitch about it

Get a wireless bridge or extender.

>keep using that world, I don't think you know what it means
We can use the old definition and you would still be wrong.

One thing I considered: one of my neighbors has a router from the ISP (Xfinity) and these routers broadcast a secondary wireless network, and you can log in with any Xfinity username/password.

I was thinking about doing this and using my neighbor's (that I share internet with) username and password. But I think this might be too risky, Xfinity would probably notice the constant bandwidth coming from that connection and investigate or something.

romania and hungary has gigabit net for 20€.

Korea and Japan may have it too, as well as the nordic countries (finland, sweden).

>>60082845
>But OP just posted one
that's a solvable issue with his current, specific setup
not a downside with sharing resources in general

>>60082852
another idea is to use directional antennas, just pointing at each other through the walls
going through walls in general isn't ideal, but directional antennas still help concentrate the signal between two points, as well as attentuate signals /not/ directly in the path, aka, interfering APs

>>60082805
are you fucking each other?

>>60082880
There is no "old" or "new" definition, "third world" has nothing to do with poverty just what side a country was at the end of WW2/beginning of cold war.

>>60082892
worth noting you may need separate APs to your current ones for this, if you use wifi for more than just connecting between the buildings, as the directional nature means you won't get much of a signal elsewhere in either building

>>60082880
wrong and also that map is a depiction of a far later date and bullshit political, first/second/third world was divided up upon the end of world war 2, you magically can't change the definition of the country because of political views, fuck americans are ignorant

>"The term "Third World" arose during the Cold War to define countries that remained non-aligned with either NATO, or the Communist Bloc. The United States, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Western European nations and their allies represented the First World, while the Soviet Union, China, Cuba, and their allies represented the Second World. This terminology provided a way of broadly categorizing the nations of the Earth into three groups based on political and economic divisions."

>>60082890
Estonia here, same here, I pay 16€ because I'm a long term customer, usually it's 20€ too for 20 MB/s internet.

>>60083022
According to your paragraph, Sweden is a 3rd world country.

>>60083072
That's why the First/Second/Third world analogy is bullshit.

>>60083072
>implying it's not

>>60082777
Sharing internet with strangers is just asking for trouble. Get a job or fuck off

>>60083089
That's just because americans think that third world means shithole, when in truth they would be far down the list before so many other countries they consider shitholes in so many aspects

>>60082729
>>60082799
>I live in the first world so it's okay for things to cost ridiculously much!!! doesn't matter that you make as much as I do but your living expenses are way cheaper, I'm still better then you!

That map is objectively wrong because East Germany was by definition a Second World country. Only West Germany was First World.

Do you have a good password? Someone might be stealing your internet.

>>60084289
No, it's not that. Immediately after the Comcast guy showed up to hook them up, my internet speeds tanked. It's definitely the interference because I remember before when someone else lived there (it's been unoccupied for months) I had a similar problem although not as bad.

>>60084460
I think my only hope is using the 5GHz range; 2.4GHz is coming in fairly strong, it's just super slow. Anyone here have good luck with a high gain 5GHz antenna?

>>60082889
I do this all the time from my neighbor, the only problem is that the speed can be kinda shit. If you can't figure anything else out this would work, but I would use it as a last resort.
