If I get BT Broadband do I get unlimited access to BT Fon hotspots?

We are having major problems with our broadband, been told it's the line (it's not), the router (the router isn't 100% but the problem persists even when the router works fine) and I'm sick of it.

There's a BT Fon hotspot that works in our house. So if we switch to BT, and can access the hotspot, if the broadband goes down again (goes down every 6 months for a few weeks at a time :( never got to the bottom of it properly) we can still get internet access.

I work at home mostly and REALLY need internet access!

Does anyone know, does full access at any time to BT Fon or the BT Wifi hotspots come included with BT Broadband or BT Unlimited Broadband?

Thanks :)

I have one of these which has been brilliant.

Yes, I have BT broadband and unlimited Bt Wifi/BT Fon access is included.

I thought the usage allowed depended on what type of BT Broadband account.

Do be aware that as well as being able to access "other" BT Fon hotspots, your router will start acting as a BT Fon hotspot too, so if your broadband goes down, you will need to find some way of accessing the "other" hotspot.

I guess the easiest way is to turn your router off few a few days if it is down/ connection unreliable, so you can use the other local one.
