Quote from: itsme Yes and no. You can set a limit on the speed which will stop any video streaming and as the Fon router plug into a LAN port of the main router you can block P2P to that particular port.
Thanks for the replys, im guessing then that it does work on the plusnet network, as well as speed p2p blocking etc, is it also possible to limit how much data it uses? ( something like 1GB max or so per month )
A few more questions, where to buy? my main interest in buying one is the chance to roam onto other wifi networks, i have a mobile phone with a 3G signal, that can connect to the tinternet, however the signal isnt that great ( low usage limits, technically against T&Cs for the mobile netowrk etc etc) and most of the places that i try and connect seem to have a BTFON hotspot accessible. Im asuming that if i get a Fon router, and sign up i will be able to access BTFon hotspots in the UK, and plain old Fon hotspots abroad for no aditional fee.
is that correct?

If you go the the Fon site https://www.fon.com/en/support/index#foneroLinusBillAlien and read about Linus, Bills and Aliens. I'm a Bill but I'm not sure whether this is still an option for UK users since BT involvement. The last time I looked at the site you received free minutes to BT Openzone sites in compensation that you could not be a Bill but reading the site now it seem that you do not receive the free minutes and there is no mention that you can't be a Bill in the UK.
You may be able to pick up a Fon router from ebay but the hassle free route will be to buy one direct from Fon as the MAC address of the router is locked to an account, if you buy a second-hand router then this will be registered to someone else.

Looking at http://corp.fon.com/en/products/, it would appear you can't in the UK:
