BT silences customers over Phorm

Not before time

Unfortunately, much of what was appearing on the Webwise threads was unadorned, adolescent tripe. Those concerned did more to turn-off BT users interest with all of their aggression, rather than help their cause. Overall it was badly handled by both sides with little of practical value being achieved.

How much?

I wonder how much it will cost me per transaction?

Could you please avoid terms such as "insightful" - try buying a dictionary.

100,000 sign for BT Fon wi-fi love-in

Maps and Usage

I have been registered for BT FON for sometime. I live in an apartment block with its own post code, and which is surrounded by similar blocks. There is a problem in the locating of the HotSpot on the map, with it being shown to be about 100 meters further to the south than the building. I assume that this inaccuracy is introduced through inaccurate mapping data held by Google.

Surprisingly I get a lot of visitors to the BT FON HotSpot - most of them iPhone users, at least two a week, usually at the weekends. There also seems to be a regular stream of new iPhones, so I am wondering if one of my neighbours is running a small retail business or something.

Want faster broadband soon? Move to Kent, says BT

@David Neil

Its not the the trunk networks that are the issue; legislation or consolidation of the Local Access would help reduce risks and costs to the comms companies if any vendor could by access - much the same way as railway companies could gain access pre-grouping.

Perhaps a little more monitoring of the messages posted here is called for.

Will also be able to buy vouchers

From the FAQs on the BT FON site, non-BT customers will also be able to buy vouchers from the BT Openzone site - you only need to buy the special router for your broadband connection if you want to contribute to the number of access points by joining the FON community.

How long, I wonder, before the first arrest. Perhaps BT should include something in their FAQ:
