Thats a shame. Google AI is full of £$%^ then as this is what it has to say. Dig a bit deeper and it was disbanded a few years back. Thats a shame as it was brilliant. Ill be keeping the iBoost though as it may still come in useful. I spent many hours in the past swearing at it and hanging off the back of the motorhome ladder trying to tune it in to someones SFR house miles away.
This is what AI has to say.
Yes, SFR Fon is still available in France, though its scope has evolved. While the original Fon community model has been phased out, all SFR broadband customers in France automatically become Fon members, granting them access to millions of Fon hotspots both within and outside France. This means SFR broadband customers can enjoy free WiFi access through the Fon network when traveling internationally, and Fon members can use the SFR WiFi hotspots in France.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
- SFR as a Fon Partner:
SFR has a long-standing partnership with Fon, where SFR broadband customers become Fon members automatically.
- Benefits for SFR Customers:
This means SFR broadband customers in France can access the international Fon network for free, connecting to millions of hotspots worldwide.
- Benefits for Fon Members:
Conversely, Fon members can enjoy free WiFi access through the SFR WiFi hotspots in France, effectively expanding the Fon network's coverage.
- Evolving Fon Network:
While the original Fon community model where users shared their WiFi access has been largely phased out, the SFR-Fon partnership continues to provide a significant WiFi network for users in France and abroad, as noted in a Wikipedia article and a Business Wire article.
