I know Virgin Media users get free Wi-Fi access in the London Underground stations, and BT Broadband users get free access to Wi-Fi hotspots around the UK. Am I missing any?

As far as I'm aware, Plusnet offer no such additional "bonus" services.

What else do others offer?

Sky have hotspots around the country and EE offer access to bt hotspots too

Sky offer access to the Cloud.

Virgin is ending the wifi in underground aren't they?

EE/Orange give you BT Wifi access to hotspots and "Orange Wednesdays". Router provided (Brightbox) supports QoS (IP, port, application name, TCP/UDP, incoming port), wireless N 300mbit (2.4Ghz, 2 VLANS) but Wireless Isolation is force enabled and is 100mbit for the switch.
£5 off the monthly bill if you have an Orange or EE phone.

The benefit of Virgin is that it's not ADSL .

BT and EE (via BT) offer Fibre to the cabinet now. It's a heck of an improvement over ADSL/ADSL2+.

Only if you're not a Virgin, Vodafone or EE customer.

And so much better than Virgin's definitely-not-fibre-but-cable broadband.
