Re: Virgin Media Phorm Webwise Adverts [Updated: See Post No. 1, 77, 102 & 797]
I threw the towel in yesterday, after 7 years, for virgin even considering this. Their contempt for their customers is clear.
Forgive me if this question is slightly off topic, but it is a consequence of virgin cozying up to phorm, and this forum seems to be very well informed. Does anybody know if I can insist on these cretins removing their (shallowly buried)cables from my property when my notice period expires? Thanks in advance for any replies. |

It's rather shocking at how many recommendations made by the 80/20 report have been more or less ignored by Phorm. Not surprisingly they put it through a 'good news' parser before they read it.
Recmmendations in that report such as transparency about the intent and the technology, making a permanent opt-out to avoid profiling technology - listening to those would have done them sooooo many favours. |

I've just started reading that pdf, and the first thought that came to me was - how did the Phorm Boss confuse 80/20 Thinking with Privacy International. The document mentions 80/20 Thinking a total of 31 times, including in the Introduction, this statement which cannot in any way be misunderstood -

It seems the report has posed the same questions that many frustrated customers have been asking over the last few weeks. I wonder if they've had any more luck getting unequivocal answers? |

The Guardian blog post that pdf comes from has some initial observations.
It'll be worth checking the comments (where reviews of the report are being posted) -- Simon Davies says he's got "some announcements that are imminent". Wonder if he's having second thoughts? :angel: |

Can we cancel our vm contracts because of this?

Re: Virgin Media Phorm Webwise Adverts [Updated: See Post No. 1, 77, 102 & 797]
are you really suprised that Charles at the guardian got the report first, like i asked before, do you really trust him to report this properly, they are Phorm clients after all, Charles has been soft soaping this story from day one, and he or his team have been deleteing legal comment points according to some.
its not like they were going to give the register the scoop, so you have to ask if the more revealing posts havent even got aired on Charles so called tech blog. you have to wonder why it was posted so late in the day too, perhaps they hope this so called 'some announcements that are imminent.' story will replace the report thread in the morning when all the markets and boardroom types are reading. OC Simon Davies is going to talk his double talk there, especially after his AKA'ed co-worker (or was it really SD , we shall never know) blabed and insulted the reg thread ( i forget which one now, one of the early ones) posters. |

I see BT have now stopped answering any questions on Phorm in this and any other thread.
http://www.beta.bt.com/bta/forums/th...t=270&tstart=0 Have you also noticed how Phorm seem to have stopped posting there lies on forums all over the Internet and have instead stopped posting answers full stop. ? |

It sounds like you wanted to cancel anyway and are using this as an excuse as they havent made any changes, just suggestions. Also they wont remove the cable, you can provided you dont damage the cable in the street but they wont send someone out to remove it for you. |
