This might come in handy for someone having trouble logging into BTFON (Public WiFi hotspots).
The BT broadband base units have the ability to support public WiFi (as of 2009 it's enabled by default - yeh you should have read the small print eh). It available as BTFON (I think it used to be called OpenZone?).
Anyway as a BT broadband customer I get to use these for free or else you can pay for access [clock] time on the spot. It took me a while to figure out how to log in.
The three options are, use a username/password from:
- BT Total broadband
- BT OpenZone
- BTFON
I have a BT username/address ending with @btopenworld.com (my DSL login username which is supposed to be the username I use to access BTFON). However this did not work on either of the three options (I wasn't actually 100% sure which of the three options to choose).
In the end I logged in using option 1 (BT Total broadband), and changing the end of the email/username to:
@btinternet.com
The password is the same as your DSL login password (which I had to reset as it happens as the one I had written down didn't work!). And it took about a minute to actually login.
Instant access my arse.
