BT Fon: Hub says not a member but MyBT says I am?

So which is right? Cannot see how to activate it on my as it only takes me to MyBT which tells me it is already active. Confused am I.

I am no longer seeing BT Fon as an available wi-fi network when at home which seems to have happened in the last week or so.

As far as I am aware, BT FON has not existed for a long time.

BT FON became BT Wifi iirc and now BT Wifi has been renamed to EE Wifi

Just found this entry in the log of my hub which is the last entry for the BT WiFI category. What gives?

03:04:17, 31 Jan. (432036.950000) BT WiFi disabled via TR69

Been accessing BT/EE Wi-Fi hotspots while out and about this week so I can use other peoples' but no-one can use mine.

Just a thought that I am still using the original HH2 I was supplied with many years ago but do have a newer model that came with a replacement Youview box a couple of years back. Now the MotoGP season is finishing will swap them over next week and see if that makes a difference as well as stopping the occasional wi-fi / broadband drop out that I get needing a power reset of the HH2.

If you are out of contract it might be worth recontracting to see if you can get a better price as well as a Smart Hub 2, The Home Hub 2 is very very old and depending on what hub they sent with the Youview Box its likely a Homehub 6 or Smart Hub 1

I am not out of contract. I think the newer box is an HH6. What does an SH2 offer me that I don't get with an HH2 or HH6? Apart from the occasional drop out many days apart the HH2 does everything I want it to.

The question is does using the HH2 mean that it no longer offer a BT Wi Fi hotspot to passers by. Not that it was much use to them anyway as my house is set back from the road and I lose wi fi connectivity as I soon as I leave my part of the shared driveway.
