Agreed . I just struggled for half a minute to think of the correct word to use, failed, and gave up. I'll alter it if you come up with the right word/phrasing in time.

Just a minor point/condition - you must have your wireless turned on at home, or no "free" BT Phon/BT WiFi.

I'm sorry, you're completely wrong. It doesn't matter if you have wireless on or off at home BT Wifi is unaffected. You can still use BT Wifi anywhere.

In reply to a post by lelboy:

That's the only point I made - many that don't use their wifi facility at home often turn it off, for reasons best known to themselves.

Right, but turning off wifi on their home router won't affect their ability to use BT Wifi out and about, and I thought you were saying it did. All that matters is what you set up on the BT Wifi website.

The Homehub still transmits BT Wifi even if you turn wireless off. To get it to stop, you either have to replace the router or opt-out.

I don't know what word you want, since I didn't find brightd's post confusing!

Yeah. I was just saying to lelboy that it doesn't matter what wifi choices are made on the router's GUI, since it won't affect BT Wifi either way. As you say, there is no router-side BT Wifi kill switch.

Only if you are lucky enough to be able to log on okay. I can very rarely managed to log onto the free BT WiFi.

You can goto the BT website and OPT OUT of BT WiFI... that's what's being referring to. Using a thrid party router isn't considered opting out by BT. So you'll still be able to use other peoples BT WiFi Hotspots.

you need a BT email address though. When I signed up for Infinity none of the acknowledgements etc I received detailed such an address.

My BT login is a user name not an email address.

The acknowledgements etc will have gone to the (non BT) address you supplied. Obviously until you actually became a BT customer you will not have had a BT email address. I was then asked what I wanted my BT email address to be:something@btinternet.com.

When you login to your BT account and go to the Mail tab what does it show you?

The only non-email userid I use with BT is for their support forums.

I have never been asked and the Mail tab on MyBT just asks me to login with my email and password
