But here is a question for you. Would you like a mobile phone base station in your home? Perhaps in the children's playroom?

There is a slight difference in power levels that makes that comparison a little pointless. A mobile phone mast can easily run at ~ 1Kw and home routers are limited by the regulations to ~ 100mw (10,000 times less).

A mobile phone can run at ~ 5w or 50 times more than a home router and even on hands free will be a lot closer so the field level will be a lot more.

The frequencies used for both are non-ionizing and there is absolutely no scientific evidence that they cause any harm at all but if your paranoia prevents you from accepting that then change ISP.

I think my nearest mobile mast is about 1km away and about 20m above head height. A hub will be about 5 m away and 1m from head height of a child.

I dont know what the effect is and it may take decades for any effect to become apparent. If there is a 1% chance of sterility, cancer or headaches, I dont want it.

Besides the health risk, I dont want the security risk.

So, to avoid all risk of 'sterility, cancer or headaches', you're not prepared to invest in a £10 router on eBay?
And, unless you live in a detached house set in spacious grounds, what are you going to do about your neighbour's wireless routers? Line the party walls with Bacofoil?
And presumably you do not allow your children to use mobile phones either?

So what is your point?

The thread is not about convenience of use.

It was not about the 'dangers' of BTfone either.... but that didn't stop you re-opening an old thread:rotfl:

I think we all know what any leftovers would be used for.

Well, good for you. Perhaps you have a different version of the hub? Perhaps you signed up before BT defaulted to making new customers have BT FON.



If you read with your eyes the post that I wrote, you will see that I have unregistered from BT FON but it is still enabled.

Apparently (as mentioned before) it is down to the version of the BT hub.

I did read your post you rude person. I was going to make a suggestion for you to try, but as you are so obnoxious, I'll keep it to myself. Idiot.

I dont have a microwave. I do have an oven but it doesnt use microwaves to cook.

Other than that, a microwave is normally used for short bursts. A wireless transmitter is on constantly.


I have a mobile phone but I never hold it to my ear as it gives me headache and makes me dizzy. I use it only on handsfree and not very often.


How much more? Are you saying you dont get cancer so quickly or are you saying the home hub is harmless?

As mentioned before, as the wireless transmits constantly, it is constant.

But here is a question for you. Would you like a mobile phone base station in your home? Perhaps in the children's playroom?

you wouldnt get cancer from it its not been proved and ot wouldnt bother me as unlike you i dont believe the horror stories

you live in the land of the nod pal

oh and there wouldnt be a security risk as your web router is locked and only you should have the wep key

yes it does transmit the fon signal but they cant access your computer from that

BT service reminds me of BA service. Some years ago I tried to complain to BA. It had to be done by fax.

I waited months for a action and finally they said they didnt have it. Convenient.

I used to commute by air but never flew BA since. Extrapolating, they lost 150,000GBP in business over 10years.

used to commute by air? but worried about the possible radiation hazards of a wireless transmitter? hmmm

you guys are hillarious and must have too much time on your hands.

You feel the need to be the authority on a subject and have the last word. When your posts are demonstrated to be gas, you resort to insults. Well done! :T

Well, I am happy to announce, I have terminated BT FON and wireless on my hub. BT were useless - as were the posts of the resident knowalls.

But sadly dear reader, I cant share the information here because this site suffers from girlfriendless, knowitall, twit spam that must have the last word and must know better. PM me if you are interested.

Note I also terminated BT internet because they turned my home into a base station without my permission and because of their attitude to customer service.

Dont worry knowitall twits, I will let you have the last word and you can be the kings of moneysavingexpert.com. (Every forum has them). Its all yours. You can have it, with my blessing
