In 100,000 sign for BT Fon wi-fi love-in
If you sign up for BT Fon but don't use the Home Hub, you get all the benefits (unlimited BT Openzone and FON) but without having to turn your router into a FON access point. I think there are enough stories here about security issues with the hub to explain why other routers are a better choice. I haven't tried a FON point myself but I can confirm this works with a standard Openzone one. A drawback of Openzone/FON is that it doesn't support roaming, so you can't use The Cloud or a T Mobile hotspot. My local pub has free wireless access (and has signs up to say so), so that isn't necessarily a problem.
