BT Fon and BT Openzone FAQ's still incorrect
Dear BT,
I refer to my post made on the 12/08/2010 - http://community.bt.com/t5/BB-Out-About/Why-does-the-BTHH-transmit-the-Openzone-signal/m-p/37318#M22...
"The BT Openzone website will now be updated (when - unknown) to include the BT Home hub as a BT Openzone location as this is not clearly shown on the BT Openzone website at present".
But the BTFon FAQ still states -
"What’s the difference between a BT Openzone hotspot and a BT FON hotspot?
There's no difference to you when using the hotspots.
However, they're located in different types of places. BT FON hotspots are the Wi-Fi signals from BT Home Hubs owned by other members of the BT FON community. This means that individual BT FON hotspots may not be available in the future, because a customer may opt out of the service, or temporarily switch off their Hub.
BT Openzone is a premium wireless service, with hotspots in airports, hotels, stations and businesses around the UK. BT Total Broadband customers who are members of BT FON can access BT Openzone hotspots as well as BT FON hotspots. You can see the exact locations of BT Openzone hotspots using the map at www.btopenzone.com. BT FON vouchers bought by non-members are only valid at BT FON hotspots, and can't be used on the BT Openzone network".
and this is on the BTOpenzone site -
"What is BT Openzone?
BT Openzone is a wireless broadband (Wi-Fi) service that you can access in public places (hotspots) such as airports, hotels, coffee shops, motorway service stations and city centres. Get online at BT Openzone hotspots throughout the UK and the Republic of Ireland, and at selected locations outside the UK".
Is it not time to correct this?

This thread is soooooooooooooo close to being solved
But...

Tracing people logging on at BT FON and BT Openzon...
Hello,
Please can you tell me if it is possible for BT to trace where someone is logging on using BT FON or BT Openzone. My reason being I am being stalked and the emails come from IP addresses all over the place from btcentralplus.com. I think I know who the stalker is and he has a BT phoneline and internet account so would have log in details. If the police were to contact you could you tell them where he has logged on and whether this matches the IP addresses from the emails.

BT Fon and BT Openzone questions
Hi,
I have recently opted in to BT Fon. I don't have a Home Hub (need a more powerful router) so does this mean I will not be sharing my connection (or does BT change my router on the sly)?
Regarding Openzone, what username should I use (it isn't obvious), because my BT Infinity (opt 2) package apparently comes with Openzone access.
Thanks in advance!Yes - you won't be sharing
BT can do whatever they like to their supplied hubs only....
AFAIK it's still the primary email account holders name and password - as per using FON

I live in ontario tower and i was using btopen zone and bt fon thing( where you have to buy vouchers) for about 5 months and everything worked fine untill Monday. Now i can connect to any hotspots. It sais limited connectivity. Sometimes it sais "cant connect to the network". I tried every possible solution posted in previous topics...
Help anyone?It could well be that the FON hot spot you were using is no longer there, is relies on BT customers who have opted into FON having their homehub switched on, there could be a number of reasons.
1) BT customer migrated to another ISP.
2) BT Customer moved on.
3) The FON part of the HH has gone faulty.

No BT FON or BT OpenZone SSID being broadcast from...
I've been using BT for just under a year now. When I first installed my HomeHub2 I had 3 SSIDs broadcast; my own private, BT FON and BT OpenZone. For some reason I now only have my own private SSID available and I can seem to get BT FON available again.
I've tried opting out of BT FON and then opting back in again to no avail. I've also tried a full reset of the HomeHub followed by an opt out/in, but no change.
Can anyone explain why I've lost the ability to use BT FON and OpenZone. It was quite useful if friends visited and saved them using my monthly bandwidth allowance.Hi Spillpot
I can check and see what status we have your for your FON opt in/out.
Could you drop me in an email please with your BT account and telephone number along with a link back to this thread.
Just send to the email address in my profile and mark FAO Craig please.
Thx

HomeHub security concern - Fon and Openzone share ...
I have recently joined BT on Total Broadband Option 3 to find that my HomeHub has opened a BTFon and BTOpenzone connection. I'm quite content with this arrangement, but have found that they all share the same channel. Having done some research, the BTFon describes FON as secure because "BT FON members agree to securely share a portion of their Wi-Fi bandwidth through a separate channel on their wireless router".
I called BT about this but was told only how I could turn Fon and Openzone off - which I'd only want to do if they are compromising the security of my WPA encrypted connection by sharing the same channel. I don't know if I should be concerned by shared channel. Any advice would be welcomed.Hi Mr Jones.
First of all the youdo not share the same channel, they USE the same channel, much the same as I could be using the same channel as you.
Fon and OZ are a separate thing from your connection, except to say they do use some of your Bandwidth when actually being use by another party, but you should have priority.
As for security, I think its fair to say that it is secure as much as possible, I leave it running and so far no problems, now and again a couple of youngster sit on my garden wall and use it, but I do live in a quiet somewhat "respectable area", but had no problems with it.
Like most it can be cracked if someone is dedicated enough, but there must be easier picking out there, and WPA should protect you.

When I run the Dr. Fone software it shows they are still on my iPad 2 but it costs 60-70 dollars. Is there another way to retrieve them? They were not backed up on Itunes like I thought they were. Please help!!
Recover software as you have described is pretty much your only option - keep in mind that if wait, some of the currently recoverable data may well be over-written and lost.

Repeated authorisation requests - have read FAQ, but still problematic
Hi,
have downloaded aboout 80-100 tracks from iTunes, but recently I can't play them as I'm repeatedly asked to authorize my computer.
Have tried the FAQ sheet - authorised computer, removed that hidden file and then reauthorised etc - but still can't get it to work.
Three requests lodged with support over the last week, but no responses other than the automated links to the FAQ sheet.
Any help greatly appreciated^.^
I have the same problem, and I did everything on the Support webpage that everyone points to. Nothing works. The only solution that I know of beyond that is to re-set the iPod to its original factory settings. Because of all of the issues with beacking up the iTunes library, and because I might have to replace TV shows that don't show up in the library after taking such a step, I am hesitant to take this drastic step.
At the same time, I am also not happy with customer service, who were absolutely useless on this issue, and there has been no help on this issue other than the already read Support page, with all of its solutions, which I have already done.

I am going to buy either a Mac Air or Mac Pro Retina 8GB RAM and 256GB. And as I have to still run Windows programs I will install Parallels 9. As the Mac are both 64bit machines does that mean I need to install Windows 7 64bit or just install 32 bit? (Going with Win7 as I hate Win8). And I will install Office Pro 2013 64 bit too or 32 bit or is that automatically selected by the underlying OS (I use Word, Excel and Access mainly for a membership database of a local club) ? I am not a power user so would appreciate advice on way to go
Again thank you. If I only use word, excel and access in the Win environment and Mac OS for email and safari for internet do I need anti virus software . Ie my connection to the world is mac only and I use office pro only to ruin the club, newsletters, membership database etc. and of course anything I do there can drag/drop to the mac environ to email. That's my understanding anyway. Next will my existing .pst file copy directly into mac mail or do I have to runs translator as I recall reading something about that ages ago when I started thinking Mac

My ios update keeps getting stuck on the Restoring iPhone software stage. I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it again, but still nothing. Now I can't even use my phone as it shows the plug into iTunes screen. Please help!!!! Thanks,
A Restore first downloads a new copy of iOS to your computer. On a slow Internet connection this can take a long time. How fast is your connection? How long would you expect it to take to download 900 MB?
That's assuming nothing is interfering with the download. Some firewalls and antivirus programs will block the download or slow it down. So you should temporarily disable your security software. Security software can also block the update after the iOS download is complete. -
since i have updated my iphone everytime i open an app it comes up with a message 'connect to itunes to use push notifications, may include alerts, sounds and icon badges, i have backed up my phone on itunes and restored phone but its still doing it can anyone help?
EmReturn the iPhone and get your money back. It has been
hacked/modified/jailbroken and likely cannot be made
