Just reading this little piece on BBC news site and wondered what if any unusual SSID's (Your WiFi network name, for the uninitiated) people use or have seen?
All the local ones here are just the boring factory default names.

I used to use. "The wrong Side Of Your Firewall" Currently it is" Inscrutable Enigma" What's yours?

Well there is a novel idea to make the neighbours chuckle. Currently it's set to the rather mundane term of simply "Network" but I guess I should use something more humorous ;)

We can "see" about 11 usually from our house, all of which are the likes of "BTWiFi" and "TALKTALK-FC14E0"...

Ours is the only one with a "name" which is...... DGCM (for Dave, Gill, Charlie and Maddy)! :D

BTWiFi and BTWiFi-with-FON are the new names for BTopenzone and FON free to BT users but you can pay for access if not. It's an opt in service, where you make 512k of your bandwidth available as a hot spot for others to use. It's a very useful service :) http://www.bt.com/static/wa/wifi/pages/ ... spots.html

Done that for my network in France which is MSSM...

In Egypt though, I've taken on Andy's (Kandyman) challenge once and named it Police Survey Van 03. I'm pretty sure I'm making people freak out as in Egypt there are many guys sitting around in the streets (and in cars) watching and reporting people as well as Police vans. What's more funny is that sometimes I leave it on, and sometimes off during the day simulating a random presence possibly... I also heard some youngsters at my building entrance searching for a wifi network and stumbling upon mine and furiously say best to avoid it for not getting into trouble :mrgreen: ...

Mine is named after our road so is quite boring. I used to have the house number too but decided this was a daft idea so now it's an X.

Funniest one by me is Scrappy, after Scrappy Doo, their Bedlington Terrier.

There used to be loads of unsecured ones. Not sure whether publicity made them change, or maybe it was the unsolicited page popping out of their printer with 'you should secure your wireless network' printed on it.
