The Cloud uses MAC address to authenticate iPhones for free access AFAIK.

You're in luck then - O2's adding BT Openzone Wifi to the Cloud offering they currently include.

Adding BT Openzone to the free wi-fi part of the tarrif should make you happy then.

Just thought of something - there's got to be some sort of browser id hack you could pull to get a laptop version of Safari to identify itself as an iPhone to the BT & the Cloud wi-fi networks. That + an O2 mobile number = free laptop internet access. Interesting...

I just want it to be reasonably fast.
3G isn't generally fast enough for my tastes -- whether it's on 3, Vodafone
or whoever. I like fast wifi.

I must admit though, I can't stop wondering about that whole O2 3G speed debacle. I'll be comparing the speed on my old an new iPhone's when I get one. And if O2 customer services call me a 'technie nerd' when I ring to complain I won't be happy...

It was still quite annoying watching Steve on stage doing that speed
demonstration....

Any existing o2 customers like to comment on the current 3G coverage/performance?

No point in having a swanky device if it can't connect....if (rumours being correct) they were capping 3G users at 128kB previously, what will the i3G mean for the network?
