No they are not.

I doubt it. The biggest problem with using
any type of wireless network for IP calls is the lack of quality-of-service. Roaming between APs is a pain even on a single-controller corporate network, depending on how the "far end" is set up on a guest-wifi network it may not work at all and just result in dropped connections every 30 seconds.

In the case of the FON network your FON router has to be registered and actively sharing. FON detect from their Spanish base whether or not you are sharing. You get about 6 weeks grace before you lose roaming rights. Within minutes of reconnecting your roaming rights are restored.

Yes, but this isn't FON - and with BT FON they don't detect, so it's all up to the ISP.

No, hasn't this been repeated 50 times already?
This wouldn't even be legal in the UK.

Even if that were the case, it should not have the effect seen here (aside from possible software bugs on the SH, and don't get me started on that...)
Given the dedicated service flows, and the fact the BQM doesn't monitor "over the wifi" there's no reason any amount of guest wireless load should be affecting it.
