Sup Sup Forums, for a while now my neighbor in my apartment building and I have been splitting the internet bill, with me connecting to his wireless router. However, someone recently moved in to a unit closer to me than the neighbor I'm sharing with, and ever since then my internet has slowed to a crawl (

pay for your own internet you cheap fuck

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

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

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

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

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

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

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) .

stay poor faggot

>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.

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

>comparing internet prices on a tiny island compared to the geographically diverse and extremely large united states
ok

>Bullshit.
>t. I know nothing of history or geography

>There are no third world countries in Europe
Albania, Moldova, Ukraine

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 Our stuff is outdated, they have the privilege of coming late to the party and building it all from scratch with more recent tech.

>there's no downside
But OP just posted one

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

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).

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

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

are you fucking each other?

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.

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

>playing the semantics game instead of admitting you were wrong
See you on the boards, kiddo.

>america
>not third world
>not 57%
kek

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

>playing the semantics game
>I'm right because I say so!!!!
Nice one, made me reply.

>standard
holy shit end yourself

>"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."

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

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

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

>implying it's not

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

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

>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!
I fucking love seeing shit like that on Sup Forums

>I don't know what exchange rate and monetary policy are

>implying that USD and EUR aren't equal

>I have no idea about the state of currency in the world.

delet this you can see nipples

muh safespace

You could just ask the other neighbor to share with him.

>hurr durr what is cost of living

...

see
exactly the point

>$50/month
>ridiculously much

>romania and hungary has gigabit net for 20€.
i'd want cheap internet too if i had to live on $500 a month while working full-time

t. new world

Any other suggestions?

t. someone who posts nips on a blue board

run ethernet you giant retard
>inb4 can't knock holes in walls
run a exterior grade cable through a window or something

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.

>$500-1000 p.a
>for internet
Seeing posts like this on Sup Forums reminds me just how fucked Americans are by their ISP

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.

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?

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.
