It sounds like virgin are doing this "properly". That is, the wireless connection will be dishing out completely independent IP's than that of your private connection. Should someone use it for nefarious deeds, it wouldn't ever come back to you. No different to BT today.
Some questions do remain:
- Will this work if you are in modem mode?
- If not, will this automatically opt me out?
- Will this affect the wireless ability of the hubs, as presumably it's running a "Guest" network alongside the primary network?
- What speeds will this give users? Virgin are capable of offering a substantially fast service with the way this is designed.
