The Register said:

BT reserves, and makes use of, the right to remotely detect all devices connected to LANs owned by its broadband customers – for their own good, of course.

BT Broadband customers can expect to have their network checked any time the operator feels it needs to take a peek to help it provide the service, or when the safety of the customer is in doubt – the latter being the motivation behind the only instance where we know the capability has been used.

If you are daft enough to still be using BT Internet, then you're probably daft enough not to care.

Never give BT Internet any kind of direct debit - they will steal from your account!
