so read yes your data goes to the Phorm kit in the Virgin POP site.
Yes Virgin will have full visibility of all my surfing habits via Phorm Deep Packet Inspection software. The question will be
Do i trust Virgin Media with that data. The answer is no due to the fact they are selling my data to a spyware and root kit company.
Could this company have a backdoor program sending the data anyway no matter what Virgin Do.
Would you trust that arrangement ????
So it looks like i will be moving to BE.

Any ISP has access to your browsing habits if they wish. In fact even business networks have this kind of access, if they keep the router logs, you dont need phorm to see what users are up to. LOL you dont need deep packet inspection, sniffers do a lot that already and I bet any network admin will have that kind of tool. even basic home routers let you log outgoing/incoming traffic and they have basic functionality and I have a packet sniffer at home to see what the kids are up to, you just need plenty of space for the logs.
I'm not condoning phorm, but Virgin dont need phorm to see what you do.
