You would hope that as an end-user you'd have control over whether or not wi-fi is enabled.
I will also switch my Superhub to modem only, then simply rely on my other Asus router (which has the benefit of running infinitely better firmware compared to the awful version that runs on the Virgin device).

In some ways it's a decent idea, given the speeds that Virgin can offer there is probably spare capacity in terms of bandwidth and if they set the hub up so that the guest wi-fi uses a different channel that should eliminate a lot of the conflict (except that all Virgin customers are going to double the number of wi-fi networks).
On the other hands, the hubs are pretty shit and the wi-fi signal not great. Someone would have to be stood right outside your house to use it.
Obviously I've opted out.
I did wonder whether having your hub in modem mode would stop it but there's no reason why it would if it's an entirely separate network.
