Yeah, it states Amazon Sidewalk is only available in US.
Amazing how those companies seem to think that internet that we pay for is available for them to share with their customers freely. Virgin media was at it as well
sharing their customer's paid internet with others. Got that sorted out by opting out on their settings. Hey, I'd might consider it if it meant a reduction in broadband
bill. It's funny all this sharing always means that individuals have to opt out, why not opt in? Anyway, I've never considered installing any device that listens into my
private conversations, I mean that's just plain silly lol

you need to log into your virgin account not the router its been ages since I did it but had a search and it says,How do you turn that off on a bt hub ,?
I didn't know they done that.
You can do this by signing into your Virgin media account, going to profile, and select Opt-out and save.
I just checked I don't have that option there now.
Found video on how to Opt Out
EDIT: @steptoe , my mistake iv'e posted details for virgin media misread your post.

You do it in your bt account settings (that was the case about 5 years ago when I had bt).How do you turn that off on a bt hub ,?
I didn't know they done that.
It’s part of their free WiFi thing, where they keep banging on about their billion hotspots. You need to share your WiFi, if you want access to BT’s hotspot network.

That Alexa has recently popped up on my telly asking if l want to set her up, l suffered saying no to allow telly to boot properly. l went through the apps yesterday and sussed out how to delete her and executed her. Today when l switched telly on the Biach was back wanting to be set up.
