I can ensure you that all our customers will have the option to opt of
this program should they wish too. As soon as Phorm comes into play all
our customers will be made aware of how to opt out of the service. I
hope this information is what you were hoping for.

By opt-out though, do they mean just the opt out cookie which still means that you are still going through Phorm services and they are still monitoring, just not actively displaying personalised adverts (e.g. not really a full opt-out), or like TalkTalk has said to do where opting out means completely bypassing the Phorm servers at the ISP level and getting a real opt-out so you have nothing to do with Phorm at all if you opt-out?

I would hope for the latter, but I fear it is likely to be the former
