I have not pulled my punches in respect of BT service in the past, so it is only fair to report that a replacement Homehub is now working throughout the house, and they have lowered their prices. At the same time they have created btfon If I agree (which I have) to allow make my home network public, then I can connect via anyone else who has acted in the same way (and there is a world wide network). Not only that, as an option 3 subscriber I get free access to the BT Openzone network in the UK. Now this is starting to display intelligence ...

If you're making your home network "public," are you liable for the activities of people who use it? I advise family members to secure their wireless networks, because I don't want their computers seized due to illegal behavior from someone 'borrowing' their signal.
This may be a U.S. problem, where Internet providers turn over records of access to law enforcement when a warrant is issued. Is BT likely to report activity from your neighbors as originating from your network?

In the BT system it is partitioned and BT control all the access (maintaining records. The fon network (which started in Spain) has sites in UK so I assume they ave thought of it.
