if you are on Bt Total Broadband option 3 then the wireless is now "unlimited"

Unlimited Wi-Fi minutes per month7

Join the BT Fon network and gain access to 100s of thousands of hotspots around the world, including BT Openzone Wi-Fi hotspots across UK and Ireland. You get unlimited inclusive minutes (subject to a fair usage policy) for each month of your contract.

Wi-Fi for Everyone
BT has partnered with FON to let you be part of the world's largest Wi-Fi community. You will be able to securely access any of the hundreds of thousands of Wi-Fi connections in the Fon network, as well as BT Openzones2. So you can now surf the Internet on your laptop, PDA or even your PSP™, from Wi-Fi 'hotspots' all over the world.
All you need to do is join the BT Fon community (you'll get the opportunity to do this after you order BT Total Broadband). Then your BT home hub is configured remotely so that other members of the community can securely log on to their own Broadband account when they are in range of your hub's Wi-Fi signal.
In return for this, you can log on to your Total Broadband account whenever you are in range of another member of the BT FON community's Wi-Fi signal as well as in BT Openzones.
