“Don't waste your money!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by an_other on 10/08/2014

Well what can I say Ive just signed up to BTWifi-with-FON for £15 a month on an 18 month contract and I am now kicking myself for doing so! The connection I have with 5 bars signal strength on my laptop is very poor indeed. It's like going back to the days of a dial up 56k modem!

What you are actually doing is sharing a public connection on a neighbours Homehub. This is ok if the Homehub is next door but, the problem is you just don't know where the Homehubs are located & it would appear you can not rely on the signal strength as an accurate indicator to the quality of the connection you will get.

My android phone will only connect if I walk to the bottom of my drive & the laptop often drops it's connection which is obviously very frustrating.

Another thing BT don't tell you is that if your Homehub is turned off by the owner you will loose your connection until it is turned back on again! So if your neighbour who owns the Homehub goes on holiday for two weeks bye bye Internet. Unless of course you want to drive around with your laptop scanning for a good signal! If you must have mobile Internet access you can buy 5 days for £18 this is the far better option, I am so annoyed I didn't do this because knowing what I now know I would never have signed up to BTWifi.
