>WEP is actually worse than useless, as it gives you a false sense of security. Switch to WPA or WPA2 instead. If anyone you know is still using WEP, do them a favour and let them know.

At home, when I look at the available connections, only my front neighbour has a password (forgot the protocol using) but then there are like 10 un-protected connections available, you should come and offer your services door to door for setting the networks :)
