The benefits of having access to free wifi in loads of places you don't normally get it far outweigh the small cost of occasionally sharing a slice of your home bandwidth IMO.
I noticed when connecting to my own router via BT Wifi and running a speed test it allowed me around 20 mbps of my 76 mbps available.
