BT has been doing something similar to their customers in the UK for many years, except with general purpose Wi-Fi (i.e. sharing your home broadband on a second network to third parties that walk by your house for a fee).
Joe Public don’t care as long as the Netflix works, but he probably doesn’t know either.
- detritus 5y agoYeah, I thought they'd stopped doing this, but it appears they've simply removed the option to disable it from the admin screen, presumably keeping it on in the background. Christ, I loathe BT. - ed turns out you can turn it off, but have to log into your BT account, rather than direct from the router.
