I think BT FON is actually from a small portion of the bandwidth on your own (and other peoples) BT Home Hub.
Can you not tell your laptop to forget the FON network, or prioritise the ones it has set up, to keep your Home Hub as the priority network.

An unerring arrival at BT Fon before any other signals are detected and displayed as available.

You should definitely be able to do that on a mac. In advanced network preferences you should be able to put your home network, and other home networks, at the top of the list so it will default to those, and only connect to FON when none of those are available.
