Default Free Broadband Internet Access

Running corproate networks I've always enforced a WI-Fi ban due to security concerns and nether really played with the stuff other than to disable it on Cenrino Notebooks.
I bought a few 802.11g cards for the reserve bid on E-Bay over the break and plugged one in yesterday for a play. With a simple PCMCIA card with no external antenna I can link to at least 6 open access points from home. Unlimited Net access, Default passwords still in the access point setups. I was worried the security can be broken it appears the average user doesn't even use it.
I'll have to speak to a few neighbours and warn them.

Who else can see open connections?
