NEW – Wireless Broadband Everywhere Activation
With your help we're building the world's largest Wi-Fi community. You allow other members to securely log onto your Wi-Fi and in return you can securely log onto the hundreds of thousands of other Wi-Fi connections in the network. Best of all, there is no cost. Joining BT FON is included with your BT Total Broadband. Activate Wifi. Membership of the BT FON Wi-Fi community is included with BT Total Broadband. All you need to do is say I'M IN. In return for this, you can log on to your Total Broadband account whenever you are in range of either another member of the BT FON community's Wi-Fi signal or BT Openzones. All you will need to access your broadband through Wi-Fi is a Wi-Fi enabled laptop.

BT has 100,000 signed up to its BT FON Wi-Fi community
Here is a thought, with 100,000 BT FON wireless hotspots around the UK now, and some 3,000 BT Openzone hotspots we wonder how long before great swathes of the UK will have a complete Wi-Fi blanket allowing you to stay permanently connected to the Internet.
BT has announced that it has attracted over 100,000 of its BT Total broadband customers to agree to share some of their broadband connections capacity via the BT FON system. The payback for people who agree to this is that when out and about they can access broadband via other FON hotspots in addition to BT Openzone hotspots, the 13 UK wireless cities and the other 90,000 FON hotspots around the world.
People who sign-up to the BT Total Broadband Anywhere package will automatically be registered on the BT FON network.
The BT FON network is currently restricted to BT Total customers, but at some point in the summer customers of other broadband providers will be able to join the BT FON community through the purchase of a router.
