BT OPENZONE is offering 250 minutes of WiFi access for just £2, with a new deal designed to drive customers to its wireless access service.
The deal is valid for three months, after which point your subscription will revert to the rather less value £10 a month.

Openzone is available in public places across the country, with a recent deal with T-Mobile putting them in the majority of Starbucks coffee houses. For comparison, an hour of T-Mobile Starbucks access costs £5.

While £10 a month is rather on the expensive side for just over 4 hours of access, this promotion does at lead give frequent travellers hope that things might get a little cheaper in the future.

Xbox honcho J Allard commented at GDC last week that teenagers were now choosing their coffee houses based on which ones had WiFi to keep them connected. Of course, if he comes over here, no American teen will have heard of the old GPO, which is a thoroughly British monopoly institution, even if you can't call it British any more, nor carry a torch for its old logo.


Chances of it being 2 pounds if it EVER comes to South Africa? Anyone? :(
 
Their best offering is GBP 15 pm for 2000 minutes. I will be using this in London but the coverage still sucks. Believe it or not there are no decent long range wireless options in London at the moment aside from GPRS and 3G which are BLOODY expensive ... GBP2 per mb.
