Something is wrong with my wireless internet connection. It was OK up until last weekend but ever since then my connection has been really slow. I asked some neighbors that are at the same ISP and they say their connection is fine. Could it be that someone is stealing my wifi? How can I stop it?

Well, have you done anything to protect your connection? If you haven’t then it’s almost as if you’ve sent an invitation to everyone in your neighborhood to use it. You have to enable WPA or, if your network card is not compatible with it, WPE at least. And if it isn’t compatible, upgrade soon because WPA is much more secure. If you want more info on this you should probably google it or search Wiki.
