Hi
I want to purchase a wireless internet plan- about 1MB/s speed and transfer of few GBs. Its not a lot but enough for operating bitcoins with MultiBit.
My question- is operating my bitcoin wallet using a wireless modem safe for my cash? For example- lets say that somebody uses internet offer from the same GSM operator, and is like using it few hundred meters from me. Isnt he going to have the same IP address and if yes- isnt my privacy and safety of my bitcoins in trouble?
Second question- is it worth to invest in a wireless router, instead of using only wireless modem (my is going to be Huawei E3131 to be precise)? Is it going to increase my safety?
I think its safer and easier to make sure your computer is fire-walled and you have really long password for your wallet.
