From 1 July customers of O2 will no longer have access to BT Openzone wi-fi hotspots around the UK, when a four-year deal between the two firms ends.

In an email to customers, O2 says its own network of more than 8,000 wi-fi hotspots will still be available in various shops and restaurant chains.

Hmm - I’m with O2.

Originally, BTOpenzone was available pretty much everywhere. Despite it seeming slightly flaky to join, it worked and was pretty ubiquitous. Then the service seemed to fragment. There was a version that you had to pay for access, and another version which remained available to all - but that version seemed to be on the decline.

It's rare I use BT openzone. Mainly because a lot of them, especially in shopping centres etc, are 'BT openzone business' which Vodafone don't provide access to.
I've found the odd hotel in Aberdeen with normal openzone access, but not much else.

I am with Sky and they have a deal with someone for wifi. Just not sure who? Though I will admit that I have not needed it at all so it is a nice extra for some. How many actually use the free wifi that one of their service comes with?
