Its not just a question of disabling it on your hub, your account also needs to be prevented from accessing hotspots.
I think you will find that the "free BT WiFi" is only available to you if your home hub is WiFi "active".
Re the issue of people using it outside, firstly they can only be other BT Broadband customers and secondly they will only get access if THEIR home hub is WiFi active. It operates using a closed scetion of the hub that has no access to the admin partition, so what exactly is your problem?

It is, of course, possible to be 'opted in' and therefore able to use other people's BT WiFi without actually using a Home Hub yourself.

No it isn't they stopped that a while ago, the hume hubs are not part of the "public" network, unless you are both a BT broadband customer AND have your own home hub in active mode AND have the BT connection service installed on your phone you cannot connect. You cannot connect to the home hub "fon" service using any other device!
Don't need cynical comments, just get your facts right, or sink under your own hysteria.
Was this a response to my post?
If so, perhaps you misunderstood me. I was simply observing that you can be a BT Infinity customer using third part equipment at home rather than a Home Hub, and still - by virtue of being a BT customer - have access to BT WiFi when out and about. I think you'll find that's generally recognised to be the case, including by BT.
