 Generosity of BT home hub owners Thanks all round to the 860,000 owners of the newer variety of home hubs which have become Openzone and BT FON hot spots. I assume that all these people feel the happy glow of generosity in donating some of their bandwidth and domestic electricity bill towards BT's profits. I'm sure that all these good people ARE aware of this ? http://www.btplc.com/News/Articles/S...4-409DCA94F1FA   |
