I know I asked about this a year or so back, but does anyone on here actually use this? Also, have you used it abroad? Just interested how widespread this actually is.

We're Fon members, got the Fon wifi access point. Seems to work fine, not actually used the network anywhere else as yet, but seemed a good deal at the time.Ubuntu is an ancient African word, meaning: 'I can't configure Debian'.0

I have used it occasionally but find there are far more 'open' wifi connections than FON ones, so have hardly needed it.0

The Fon routers are useful if you flash the firmware to use it as an interceptor to pick up wifi traffic in the wild which you can then sniff. Not legal if you do it without consent but good if you're doing penetration tests on company networks, for the company.
This can help you see how widespread they are
