BT Wi-fi for O2 customers to stop.

I've just had this pointed out by a new member (thanks nedludd), it's a bit hidden away at the bottom of this page:

Wi-Fi services

The way we offer wifi services is changing. From 1st July 2013 access to BT Openzone hotspots will no longer be available with your O2 account. Visit http://www.o2.co.uk/coverage/o2wifi to find out more.

I do not see that on that page ?

Perhaps they jumped the gun and announced it too early, it was there yesterday!

If this is true it's probably because O2 feel that their own wifi network, which I believe is free for everyone no matter what mobile provider you are with, is up to par with BT Openzone.

Luckily, Us BT Broadband customers still have the use of both.

I can't see as yet that O2 Wifi is as widespread as BT Openzone.

Methinks it's because of the Broadband sale to Sky. Perhaps there was a clause in there somewhere?

with the sky sale in mind perhaps we will get the cloud instead of btopenzone

Had an email about it this evening (29th)

I bet you get it back though when BT buy back O2 when Telephonica decide to get out of the UK.

Now confirmed by O2:
