I had BT broadband a few years ago and we had this then. There were actually thee hotspots: mine, one called "BT Openzone" and one called "BT Fon". When they launched this in 2007 they had 3,000,000 customers [0], which I think they automatically opted in.
It was a good idea, but I never found it useful. It was only on residential broadband, and I never found myself hanging out in residential areas (if I went to a friends house they would just give me their wifi password).
