No m8 you need one in different ubr so you need go in diff area lets say 1 mile and scan some macs with mac scanner then you go back home test the macs

Yes, a MAC scanner will give you a list of MAC's in your area.

For surrounding areas, you will need a scan from within that area. Size of areas vary enormously depending on whether you are in a densely populated urban area or a more rural area. Some areas can be as small as 1sq mile whilst others can stretch for 25+ miles boundary to boundary !

The MAC scanning program can vary depending on your area and exactly what VM are trying out at this time in that area. You'll usually want to avoid an active scanner (one that actually does things) in favour of a passive scanner (listens only) so expect to scan for longish periods - 24 hours or more is good. (if you do an active scan dont run for more than 20-30 seconds in a 24 hour period).

Only real way to find out is to try them but generally these days you really need hundreds to find a handful of good ones. Like I said, in most areas things are getting quite difficult now - even if you find a good one they often only last a short while

sounds like the best bet is to pay for your broadband but if u get a good mac that runs aw the time its worth it , guranteed broadband the now via neibours unsecured just my starview 7 box some channels keep cuttin aff aw the time thinking that the broadband is causing this need more stable connection i think
