I think it would drop more clients that you think, '_The Cloud' is configured on a lot of devices as those people have free access as they're Sky subscribers or have used it in a random pub or coffee shop, if you offload all of those it only leaves the people actively choosing to connect to it which is going to be a far smaller number.

Hi Jethro,
Yes, however, it still encourages staff and students to use it, which you really don't want (they, unlike us, won't realise that Eduroam is a fine and precious thing). VisitorWifi sends out a much clearer message, and visitors will see the clear branding once they choose it, so realise it's The Cloud and third party.
Best wishes,
Jim
