mac seems to point to a BSkyB service (vendor service) (I dont have bskyb) some of my neighbours have sky, but why would it be attempting to access my network?

Is it failed roaming?

Should I wear a tinhat?

Several between 2:30am and 4:30am then nothing.

Mac changed to protect the innocent.
 
And change the antenna's :D any shared services nearby (like a distribution box outside on the street where usually multiple ISP's share the internals)
is that all it is ?
 
Once your cable leaves your home it goes to a point where your ISP most likely is not alone, unless eth6 is the wifi port then it could be anything, ea. an alarm system/solar panels scanning after it lost its link.
 
if i remember right, some of the cable cos / ISPs /Amazon or Google IOTs were implementing public private wifi off of their boxes as a way to get better wireless coverage ?
