You can still connect to BTFON and any FON hotspot worldwide for the one-off outlay of a few pounds. All you need is a Fonera SIMPL, follow instructions to register it on the FON network and off you go. You need to keep your SIMPL running as a hotspot for your access to be maintained.

I have being doing this for years. Most BTFON hotspots work, including my neighbour's.

Please note that some of the older Fonera models are no longer compatible with the FON network.
