Re: Virgin Media Phorm Webwise Adverts [Updated: See Post No. 1, 77, 102 & 797]

Hi All,

Apologies if this has been asked before but the thread has been going for some time now and although I have read it all it has been over the past few days so I may have missed this if it was asked before.

Firstly my thanks go to all those (Alexander/Popper/CaptJamie et al) who have been posting about this and more, been emailing MPs etc. They insipred me to email my MP, MEP and sign the petition.

As a personal user of Virgin I am seriously ticked off about this but due to my location am unable to swap to ADSL so will sign up with Relakks or similar.

However more importantly is this spyware going to be implemented on all BT lines or solely on residential/home use. I ask this as I work for a company who use BT for all our non head office broadband. Moreover we provide the ability for our clients to connect to us for payroll and hr purposes. Although our client connections to the payroll/hr systems are via a minimum of SSL and preferably via L2TP/IPsec our staff still access the internet over clear channels. They access Inland Revenue for the UK and elsewhere as well as other payroll related sites.
BT also provide the leased line that links our head office - is there reason for concern there?
Maybe I am being paranoid but BS7799 seems to be fairly strict and we have this certification and dont want to lose it.
Thanks
