How To Get Free High Speed Internet (100% Legal)
Everybody wants faster internet, but sometimes
it’s just not worth the extra cost.
But in this video I’m going to tell you
how you can get high speed internet not just
cheaply, but actually completely free, and
yes, completely legally.
In fact the US and European governments both
recently passed laws requiring internet companies
to offer very fast internet, in some cases
gigabit, completely free in certain circumstances.
So don’t worry I’ll explain everything,
including why this is allowed, and how you
can take advantage of it with stuff you already
have in your house, it only takes a couple
of minutes.
Before we jump in, I have to do my usual plugs
real quick.

So get started
So to begin, I’ll go over why this is all
possible, and explain how you can tell what
potential free internet speed you might get.
It turns out, with a new trade deal between
the USA and European Union, both countries
have decided that as of January 1st 2020,
all internet service providers must offer
a minimum internet speed to all citizens via
new 5G technology, with even US President
Donald Trump tweeting that the USA should
roll out free 6G as soon as possible.
The law is called the “Fair Access Kilobyte
Equity” law, or yes, the funny acronym “FAKE”
for short.
This new service is very similar to how network
television channels are offered over the air
for free to receive if you just have an antenna.
And governments have said that these internet
companies must offer af ree tier of speed,
that is equal to at least one half of their
lowest paid 5G internet tier.
But here’s the kicker.
5G is extremely fast.
In fact, because of the way the technology
works, it has a minimum speed, usually around
100 Mbps.
Meaning you’re guaranteed to get this speed
no matter what, yes for free.
I’ll keep this extremely simple and easy
to understand, but if you are interested in
the reason this minimum exists, there’s
some interesting physics behind it.
You see, 5G relies on a property of electromagnetism
called dielectric permeability, aka how easily
a radio signal can penetrate objects, including
walls.
Each broadcast also has a so-called “transmission
power to bandwidth ratio”, which essentially
means that as you raise or lower the broadcast
power of a transmission, you not only raise
and lower the maximum bandwidth and speed,
but you also change the minimum bandwidth
and speed by the same amount… it’s a range.
You can see it in this simple graph measured
with a coaxial wavemeter, where digi-lateral
coefficient is directly proportional to the
material’s diffusion factor, NOT the Scheimpflug
coefficient like you probably assumed.
But you don’t have to know all that it’s
not really important, it’s more of just
a fun fact.
Anyway, my point is that for some internet
providers, because they exclusively offer
extremely high speeds, such as 2 gigabit or
more minimum, that means the free tier will
still be as much as 1 gigabit potentially.
So basically 5G is much faster, and thanks
to the laws of physics, it helps take even
better advantage of this new law.
Obviously the internet companies are not advertising
this at all, and want to keep this as secret
as possible, but not on my watch.
So enough of the science, let’s go over
exactly what you’ll need and how to do this,
and then afterwards I’ll tell you how you
can more easily determine what kind of speed
you can expect before doing this, or if it’s
available in your area.
Because while technically ISPs must begin
their rollout of the service by January 2020,
they are not required to have full coverage
until 2023.
Now normally you would have to buy a specially
designed antenna by calling up the local internet
company and ask for a compatible “FAKE”
antenna, named after the law, but this can
potentially cost hundreds of dollars, because
the law didn’t say anything about offering
a free antenna, just the service, and internet
companies obviously want to discourage you
from using it, so they charge a very high
price for them.
However, you can make your own antenna at
home with some household materials practically
for free.
So these are the materials you’ll need.
Steps
First, some electrical tape and scissors to
cut it.
Next, a regular plastic drinking cup, or just
a mug or something, just as long as it’s
not made of glass, but I’ll spare you the
scientific reason for that.
You’ll also need a smartphone which will
be used for calibration, any kind of USB charging
cable at least three feet long, along with
a charger, and finally a reasonably long ethernet
cable.
I’ll explain what all this is for as we
go along.
So let’s got to the table and show you what
to do.
The first thing we need to do is construct
the antenna.
You need to wrap the entire drinking cup with
electrical tape, except you don’t want to
cover the opening or the bottom.
The electrical tape will attenuate the signal
and happens to have the perfect dielectric
permeability to filter out most other radio
signals except the ones we want.
You have a lot of leeway when doing this,
just make sure the entire cup is wrapped with
electrical tape like you see I’m doing here.
It’s totally fine if the tape overlaps,
in fact it’s probably better if it does
a little bit so you know there are no gaps.
And only one layer is all you need, don’t
bother adding any more than necessary because
it won’t make a difference.
After the cup is all covered like this, the
next step is to receive the over-air signal.
For this we need to insert the ethernet cable
into the cup, and sort of coil it around inside
like this.
Each coil of the wire should be on top of
the previous one just like a spring.
You’ll need it to coil at least 3 times,
but really 4 or 5 will yield the best results,
especially if you expect to access very high
speeds.
If you have trouble getting it to look right,
it’s OK to use some small pieces of electrical
tape to secure the cable in place in a few
spots to make sure it coils correctly.
It doesn’t really matter if the spacing
between each coil is consistent, but you do
need to make sure none of the coils crosses
over another.
You’ll also want to make sure you use a
long enough ethernet cable, because the other
end will plug into the computer, and you’ll
want to have enough slack.
Alright now that we have the antenna full
constructed, next we need to calibrate the
antenna to the correct internet service provider.
For this step we’ll need your smartphone,
the USB cable, and the charger.
You see, each internet company broadcasts
on a slightly different 5G frequency, with
a slightly different longitudinal polarity
for each.
To ensure the antenna will be able to receive
on this frequency, we need to sort of train
it first, but don’t worry, it’s very easy.
What you do is plug your phone into any wall
outlet using the charger and USB cable, and
make sure it’s charging.
It’s OK if it’s already fully charged,
that won’t make a difference as long as
power is at least able to flow from the phone
to the charger.
Then, get the antenna-cup device we just created,
and stick as much of the charging cable into
the cup as you can, within reason of course.
You don’t have to be very neat about it,
it can be tangled and messy, just get as much
in there as you can.
And next, we’ll need to create the signal
pattern unique to whatever internet service
provider, or ISP, you want to use for the
free internet, which is a lot simpler than
it sounds.
We can use the website Speedtest.net to do
this, so open that up on your phone hooked
up to the antenna.
You can either just use the website version
of speedtest or the actual standalone app,
it doesn’t matter.
But here’s the key, the speedtest will let
you choose which ISP with which you want to
conduct the test.
Most of the big ISPs in your area should have
test servers you can pick.
Just be aware, there are also a lot of other
companies that offer speed test servers, that
are not actually internet providers, so using
them won’t work.
Make sure you choose a server from a company
you recognize as actually being an internet
service provider, which will vary depending
on your area.
Keep in mind you will be able to redo this
later if you want with another company, so
it’s not the end of the world if you make
a mistake.
This also means you can try out different
companies and see which will give you the
fastest speed.
In any case, choose whatever ISP you want,
and run the test, making sure it finishes.
Then, run the full test four more times, for
a total of 5.
Each time the test is run, some residual signal
will be conducted through the power cable,
and the electromagnetic field will be embedded
into the ethernet cable.
This process won’t affect the ethernet cable’s
performance if you use it for something else
later, it only affects it when using it to
receive this special 5G signal.
After you finish the 5 tests, unfortunately
there’s no visual indication to distinguish
this cable from any other.
Technically you probably only need to run
2 or 3 tests, but there’s a small chance
that may not be enough, and since you can’t
tell visually, I still recommend 5 tests,
which is a 99% chance of success.
You may also want to label the cable with
a marker so you know this one has been calibrated.
So anyway, at this point the 5G frequency’s
electromagnetic signature is embedded into
the ethernet cable, but it’s polarity is
not ‘locked in’ you might say.
Without fully stabilizing the polarity of
the cable, the effect will wear off in a matter
of minutes, and even within that time frame,
it will likely be unusable because of competing
polarizations along its length.
But don’t worry, we have a fix for that
too.
So for the final step we just need to polarize
the ethernet cable.
For this I actually forgot, you will need
just one more thing, a basic spectra-dipolarizer,
so just grab an extra one you have lying around
your house.
Ideally one with a phase-contrast attachment,
but that’s not super necessary, it will
just speed up the process a bit.
Once you have this device, take the antenna
and place it on the polarizer, making sure
to reasonably center it, or of course you
might ruin the procedure and need to start
all over.
It’s hard to do that though so don’t worry,
just make sure it’s somewhat centered, and
not completely off to the side and touching
one of the edges or anything.
Just look at how I have it here and it will
be fine.
Calibration starts automatically when you
turn it on, and then you’ll notice it will
begin displaying some various information.
As long as it isn’t showing any kind of
error message, it should be working.
It’s pretty much completely automatic so
you don’t have to do anything besides wait.
Once it’s started, you can just let it sit
there for about an hour, being sure to not
move it in the slightest, or else you will
have to start over the calibration and wait
an hour more past the time you moved it.
You may be wondering what the information
on the screen is saying.
The only one you need to keep an eye on is
the ‘beat error’ which should almost always
end up at by the end of the process.
In all likelihood though, it will probably
start out at 0 anyway unless it’s an old
cable, and it’s fine if it starts out at
something else, but definitely by the end
of the hour it should be at zero.
If not, you might unfortunately need to try
another cable.
The other information isn’t really important,
but basically these have to do with the 5G
radio signature polarized onto the cable.
The “rate” has to do with actual frequency
that it will be receiving on, and the amplitude
is the amplitude of the modulated carrier
waves.
Finally the parameters are just settings the
machine uses to detect the type of calibration
required.
All of these will be unique to each internet
provider, so they will appear different depending
on which one you use.
After about an hour has passed though, it
should be completely finished.
And now, we’re ready to test out what kind
of speeds we can get.
So get whatever computer you want to use to
test out the antenna, and plug it in with
the ethernet cable.
It should show as a wired connection on the
computer.
At this point you’ll know it worked because
you’ll obviously have internet access, and
we can test the speed by going again to speedtest.net,
or whatever other internet speed test site
you prefer.
This time you can choose any test server,
but it might yield the faster result if you
choose the same one as before.
And now with this all hooked up, it’s the
moment of truth…
And look, I’m getting extremely fast speeds.
Not quite Gigabit, but I mean I’m not complaining,
this is a crazy fast result.
And it’s completely free too!
Now we’re not quite done yet, because I
must admit, this is a pretty unusually fast
result, so you probably shouldn’t expect
anything this fast.
But there is a way you can test out which
ISP’s free connection will give you the
fastest speed before going through all the
stuff we talked about.
It’s pretty easy just using a command built
into Windows.
So at the computer in Windows what you can
do is open up the command prompt by going
to the start menu, typing CMD, and then running
it.
Then you can type in the following command
to figure out the different internet tiers
available from a specific ISP.
You type in “com-test”, followed by the
name of URL of the ISP’s main website, then
the parameters “-tiers -5G”.
So for example, if the ISP I’m interested
in was Google Fiber, the full command would
be “com-test google.com -tiers -5G”.
It will probably take a second to load the
result.
This is a standardized command supported by
all ISPs to display their different speed
tiers.
As you can see, it will list out the different
tiered speed offerings by the company.
Next to each tier, there will also be a column
labeled “5G”, with an entry of either
Y or N, for Yes or No, to indicate whether
that tier is supported for 5G.
To determine what speed you can expect from
the free connection, look at the lowest speed
tier that has a “yes” in the 5G column,
then divide that by 2.
Remember, the company is only required by
law to offer 50% of their lowest 5G speed.
However, the exception is if the lowest 5G
speed, divided by two is less than 100 mbps,
because 100 is the minimum, so even if that’s
the lowest tier, you’ll get the full 100
no matter what.
Also notice there may be many tiers not labelled
5G, probably some that are lower than 100
mbps, but again those don’t count, only
the 5G speeds do.
Now if you run the command and you get an
error message of any kind, probably something
like “command not recognized”, it’s
saying the ISP does not recognize that system
command, which means they have not yet rolled
out the 5G internet network yet.
If that’s the case, you’ll just have to
try another ISP in your area.
If it doesn’t seem to work on any ISP you
try, unfortunately, that most likely means
you won’t be able to get free internet access
just yet in your area, because it hasn’t
been rolled out yet.
But if you do get some results, great!
Just go with the internet company that offers
the fastest minimum speed.
So now you can enjoy your faster internet
speed.
