HOWEVER given the Virgin group own the V brand name, the ntl/tw US board of directors are infact bringing the virgin brand into disrepute(sp) and it seems reasonable that there will be clauses in the signed contract forbiding this, so the Virgin group must be interested in anything such as this VM ISP Phorm deal....

This is why I don't understand why there hasn't been some kind of statement by Sir Beardy. I've had a generic letter from VM Customer Service saying "we'll get back to you" but I don't know whether it's in response to my letter to Neil Berkett or to Sir Beardy.
My response to Ian Woodham went out yesterday and it emphasises how much of a hammering the Virgin Media brand is taking. It's now associated with Phorm and BT and illegal wiretapping of customers' data. With every passing days' silence that perception becomes more and more embedded in peoples' minds.
