EE mobile catching people's boardband

Not sure if there is a simple solution but since switching to ee boardband I also have a EE mobile. When I’m out and about I find it randomly catching onto people boardband and not using my unlimited mobile data 🤦🏻‍♂️ it’s so annoying. I don’t have the WiFi password because I’m simply walking past but why would it try and connect instead of using data I previously had BT boardband at home and this never happened before.

@Residentsteven : It'll be the public EE WiFi network that other users are contributing to with their New EE or BT routers (as yours might). You could switch WiFi OFF on your phone or just accept it as a gift horse.
