'''BT Wi-fi''' is a [[Wi-fi hotspot]] service provided by [[BT Group]]. BT has the UK's largest wi-fi network, with over 4 million hotspots (correct as of June 2012) across the UK. BT Broadband customers also have access to a further 2 million international hotspots through BT's partnership with Fon <http://corp.fon.com/en>. |
|||
All BT Wi-fi hotspots are free to BT Broadband customers, who have unlimited access with their contracts. Their BT email address and password is used to log-in. Pre-paid vouchers and subscriptions are available for overseas or non-BT customers. |
|||
BT Wi-fi hotspots are in places like cafés, hotels, pubs, transport hubs, city centres, homes and independent businesses. Users should connect by choosing the 'BTWiFi' SSID from their list of network names. |

BT has also adapted some of its public phone boxes to broadcast a BT Wi-fi hotspot.<ref name="bbc_phonebox"> |
