Your speculation seems logical to me. I'm not sure of the legality of such a move but if they could get away with it I'm sure BT would go for it. Which could mean that smaller ISPs who have said they won't ever go down the Phorm route might find themselves shafted (can I use this word mod?) by BT...

I know exactly where you are with that good Sir. Been there, done that, still got the straightjacket. It really bothers me that I don't see ADSL as an option (I don't even like to think about it to be honest, as the BT/Openreach memories come flooding back my BP goes through the roof
too - that was a few years ago and a 512kbps connection
).
Strangely, I recall very clearly that they couldn't tell me about certain "issues" - that's it, er, not working to us little people - on my line because that was to do with their contract with my ISP (a very small and a very good one). To have told me would "breach the data protection act" apparently
. I remember the conversation with the muppet^H^H^H^H^H^H Openreach person as if it was 10 minutes ago.
Funny old world, hey!
