Hi Everybody
I’m thinking of joining the Fon network and installing an IBoost antenna to help with getting free internet connections when possible.
As BT UK has stopped selling these routers the only way to get one is from Europe or America or some other foreign country unless you good people know of somewhere I can get one in the UK.
I don’t want to buy a second hand one as I believe trying to get it registered in another name is nearly impossible.
I have found some sites which sell these but I’ve read somewhere that users of a certain router had their Fon account halted and had to purchase a different router apparently because of a firmware update which went wrong.
My question is if I buy a router from Europe or elsewhere will I be able to use it in the UK, and also which router was the one that stopped working?
Has anyone bought one from abroad and successfully used it in this country?
Here is some web pages selling Fon routers.

Another way is get BT broadband but don’t want to do that.
Any help will be very much appreciated.
Many Thanks in anticipation of your help in this matter.
Best Wishes Tony
