By telling people to move away from VM (just move away was all i said remember, not necessarily goto Sky) it may encourage people to get wise to this and at the same time find themselves a better provider. If they happen to goto Sky and leave VM then that just sticks it up VM even more. |

I just took a look at the webwise opt-out provision...

Thanks to the posters who gave the heads up on TOR.
I installed it today along with it's companion Privoxy plus the on\off switch add on. Unfortunately it is no better than when I tried it years ago as it took 63 seconds to get to and load cable forum's site. I tried loads of other sites and decided, whilst I still had hair left, that I cannot live with surfing speeds which are almost as slow as when I used a ridiculously slow dial up modem (V21 = 300 b\sec) with the first Mosaic browser. Switched off I was able to load the site and auto login in a fraction over 3 seconds (according to Firefox). For me it is no answer. If anybody else has tried it and found that it just doesn't want to un-install.... it runs as a service and has to be stopped before most of it goes. The rest of the removal involves a bit of brute force and a registry clean up. |

Will this one do? So where are you going to go if SKY also decide to do this? Maybe best to give up the internet altogether? |

Alright, own up!
Who was the "Anonymous coward" that posted the CF article on El Reg's second Phorm article? :) |

Conversely I've had a few other pages not even load earlier today while using TOR, so its swings and round-abouts. There is another application to try that supposedly provides web browsing anonymity - JAP. This too is a free service and might be of interest to those that are taking issue with TOR. I haven't used it myself yet as TOR seems to be pretty good at providing me the kinda service I'm looking for right now. But if anyone does give JAP a go please report back here and let us know how you get on with it. Its always nice to have options. |

As I said don't post if you cannot debate properly or I shall see to it that you will not be posting at all. You have yet again come into a thread with your stupid anti-VM / Pro-Sky agenda and its becoming ever so tiresome. :zzz: |
Re: Virgin Media Ad Deal [Updated: See Post No. 1, 77 & 102]
Hold on, in response to Stuart C's post where he claimed Sky were considering it in a guardian article, when in fact all it said was that other ISP's had been approaced, i said.

Then you claim im "dreaming up assumptions and making up arguements where they don't exist." Finally I get the threat of a ban because the debate doesn't go your way. How is that a debate mate or for that matter, how is that even a mature discussion on your part? |

Mick I respect your position as a mod/admin, and I don't care about the in's and out of your dispute with TheBlueRaja, but do you not think that you both should return this thread to discussing the prospective ad deal?

Re: Virgin Media Ad Deal [Updated: See Post No. 1, 77 & 102]
All of this Ssky rhetoric is very interesting, but becoming very off topic for this thread which is supposed to be about the implications of Phorm's system and it's impact on privacy. Can we return to that debate please?
