And in the same spirit:

Freedom of choice is fundamental to a modern, civilised society.

If after reading and considering the arguments the choice is made not to have anything to do with Phorm or its ilk, then that choice should be respected. If others choose otherwise then that choice should be respected too.

I choose that my data is not a commodity I wish to share.

I choose to sacrifice the so-called benefits in making this choice.

I choose not to be monitored or profiled either deliberately or as a consequence of the choices of others.

This is my choice and a basic right by historic gift.

No pimping, back door snooping should be allowed to impinge on that right by stealth or it denigrates all those who gifted us with the freedom to choose.

Today over on iii "brachaloch" has posted:

"Ok I called BT again and they still say they are working on some technical issues and that a start date for the trial has not been set. Since BT have stated that they will give at least 48 hours notice to all their customers before the trial starts I think the Monday rumour is a possible attempt to try and boost the share price.

At the moment it doesn’t seem BT is terrible keen to start the trail I think while they are waiting to find out if they are going to have a legal challenge over the previous trails."

This person isn't one to post tit-for-tat stories either (I think he's probably a member here)

Hi, I have gone to
https://nodpi.org/ and there is a problem. The "Forum" and "Events" tabs are not working and if I go to one of the other tabs that are working then the "Home" tab does not work. I have re-entered the site to my favourites but still the same.

My son reports that he keeps getting diconnected while gaming and I have had web pages loading slowly or failing to load etc. for the last few days. We are VM (Oxford area)

More of the same here-

Hmmmm, from the pcadivsor story posted by DaveTheJag, it contains

Now as I understand it, Webwise is the product name of the service offered by Phorm; it is not a brand created by BT. A small niggle yes but if that detail is confused, how about anything else they have to say?

I don't understand your NoDPI problems, other people are connecting fine, there have been several registrations today alone.

I can also access the pages fine.

google webwise and up pops the BBC webwise how confusing is that.

Re: Virgin Media Phorm Webwise Adverts [Updated: See Post No. 1, 77, 102 & 797]
 

Yeah, strange that the BBC are not contesting the fact that phorm are using their name.

Finally found time to listen to Steve Gibson's podcast http://www.grc.com/securitynow.htm Boy does he like to talk! Still, very impressive, and his genuine indignation at both what the ISPs are doing and the backgrounds of phorm and NebuAd is very apparent and speaks volumes. Next episode in two weeks 'all about phorm' promises to be a cracker.

Which Internet browser are you using (internet explorer, Firefox etc)?

and

Which operating system (Windows XP, Vista)?

:)

EDIT: Reason for asking - the symptoms you describe can also indicate a parasite (apart from Phorm) on your system - sometimes undetected by conventional av software but easily removed.

As per Mick's previous warnings, you might be better advised to stick to debating people's posts rather than attacking them directly - just a thought ;)

Hi Thanks for the help, I am using Internet Explorer 7 and XP Home SP2. I have noticed that "predictive" searches have also gone wrong on ebay and YouTube. I have AVG 7.5 free edition and Spybot running, all up to date. I am a bit of a novice in computers but your help will be appreciated! I have managed to register on NoDPI with my sons help by adding "forum" to the web address.

Thanks again,

Dave.
