How can I use my hackers' Broadband?

My computer has been hacked for so long I've decided if
you can't beat 'em join 'em. Not that I'm going to start
hacking. It just seems unfair that they are using my
computer and I am not using their broadband connection.
When I dial-up (on XP) AOL I find that my modem is
disconnected and I go through their LAN. They have a
wireless network 812.b. Now my question is what do I need
to tap into their broadband connection? I'm guessing some
kind of router and broadband modem but I need to be sure
before I run out and buy stuff. I mean I'm on their
internet connection, I just want to have faster internet.
Please help.

Which Microsoft Broadband Networking hardware are you using and what is your
indication you're being "hacked"?

umm, if your modems disconnected u'r already using someone else's
connection, which means u must have a wireless card on your system, and your
stealing from the neighbor, accidently ofcourse

How do you go throught their LAN if you are using dialup?

How can they hack your connection if you are using
dialup -- are you referring to a virus? In that case you
better off getting a virus scanner.
