It does sound as though they are going to wait for all the fuss to die down before introducing Phorm if at all
Sorry, I inadvertently missed that para out. (Crikey, the post was going to end up longer? Hellfire!) Ian Woodham writes that he has acknowledged my compliance notice and amended my customer account details accordingly, and apologised for not acknowledging that point in his initial reply. Of course, with no Phorm implemented yet this isn't an issue for VM.

I'm sure we're having an effect but am disappointed that Sir Beardy hasn't said anything publicly about the damage his brand is taking. My comment to The Register about "Virgle" went thusly:

"While thousands of your customers are pressing for an answer on where Virgin Media stands on prostituting their customers' data to Phorm, Sir Beardy is making jokes (I didn't laugh) about going to Mars.

Let's joke about how Virgin Media's reputation is taking a hammering then shall we?

Q: What's the difference between BT, Virgin Media and Robert Mugabe?
A: Mugabe realises he's in the sh*t and losing. The other two either don't know or don't care."
