I suspect that this is just an advertising gimmick so that the name Virgin Media pops up on an SSID list as often as BT. Never mind what it does to air wave congestion.

No - nothing is made difficult in this context by Fonera.
The Superhub 2 can have more than one service flow allocated to it (this was part of the recent firmware change). The new service flow is independent of yours and performs accordingly. So if you haven't opted out of public WiFi then whatever you're doing in your service flow continues and the public WiFi continues as well.
