Why not

All of the WLAN machines on my home network are separately firewalled and communicate with each other and the other machines in my house over a VLAN. This way they can walk out of the house with no configuration changes whatsoever. Inorder that my guests can most easily use my WLAN and feel welcome and at home, the WLAM is not encrypted.

As far as I'm concerned, if BT want to use my home WLAN as a public WLAN and will give me a suitable discount .. no worries.
