    Default Where am I this time?

    This is a restaurant's proprietary wi-fi, not a cable company hot spot.

    They use "sbcglobal" and likely the location aka first router aka first hop is "rcsntx"

    The connection between SBCglobal, AT&T (as in, att.net) and Yahoo Mail seems to be intricate at first. But it is actually quite simple. The initials SBC in SBCglobal stand for Southwestern Bell Company.

    You know, the last time I was in Germany and saw a man standing above everybody else, we ended up disagreeing.

    He stated as much previously that he is in Texas. I believe he wants to see/test us to see if we can tell where he is at when he visits various WIFI locations.

    So here's some small detective work for you, as I can't seem to figure it out - what the hell is RCSN TX? I'm sure the TX part is Texas, but I can't figure out what part based on the portion prior!

    That would be Richardson, but the restaurant is not in Richardson. It is in Allen.

    Shit, what a dumbass way of shortening a name. Likely the first place it goes to outside the place is in Richardson. My home connection tells people I am 2 towns away.

    I used to use 3 search sites to narrow down and confirm an ISP.

    It seemed that if at least 2 of the 3 were close or identical, you were in the
    ballpark.

    Of course, the FCC and 'certain' L.E. agencies can usually nail it accurately.
    I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?
