Help Weird wifi issue, anyone help?

Hi guys. I've been accessing the web via my home WiFi for ages and today its all gone a bit weird. I can access the web via 3g as I am now but whenever I try by WiFi it takes me to apparently a BT page, as below.
https://www.btopenzone.com:8443/home?CPURL=http://www.mcr-vtec.co.uk/forum/login.php&t=gnq0p79p

My partner is happily on the net on her x10 mini via the same router. Run a virus scan just in case and found nothing.

Any ideas anyone?

Using a BT Home Hub ?

The newer BT Home Hub's actually output three wifi networks.

1. Your typical "BTHOMEHUB2-xxxx"
2. One called "BTOPENZONE"
3. Another called "BTFON".

The first is for your own personal use, which you have the password to. The others are unlocked, and are to allow any BTOpenzone user to connect to. Basically, BT are trying to make a ton of public wifi hotspots.

Sounds like maybe your phone lost connection to the first, so automatically joined the second. It should be as simple as going into wifi settings and choosing your original wifi network.

To stop it doing so in future, click on the "BTOPENZONE" network in that same setting and click forget.
