Hi David, If you are a BT broadband customer, you get access to their national BT hot spots included within your tarrif. I'm not sure just how accessible the area coverage map for BT hot spots is I've never needed to use it, I just travel, turn my lap top on, it connects then to the nearest hot spot. ----- Original Message ----- From: David To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, March 03, 2011 2:44 PM Subject: [access-uk] hot spots Hi, BT tells me that have a fanomanall number of hot spots around the country. Can any one first explain to me what is a hot spot and how to I find them. Next with my laptop do I need to change my BT account to access them or will it work with my existing BT? I need to know this because from May onwards I will be traveling around the country and I want to be able to down load my emails where ever I am. David Weston
