Buddy of mine stopped by the other day, showing off his new Iphone. He took a picture and then promptly emailed it to me. Curious, I asked HOW he was accessing the net/e-mail at my house? Said he can access almost anywhere through someones wireless internet connection. No doubt one of my nieghbors has wireless and it's not protected, so the phone just 'hooks up' and piggybacks on their system. At his HOME he stopped his internet service, he just piggybacks off the neighbors wireless for his HOME computer! A little slower than being connected directly, but it's free.

Somebody saw on their computer that his IP was piggybacking on them, they blocked his IP. He 'reset' his IP and was back in buisness.
