As I understand it "opting out" will just stop you receiving the ads it will not stop your connection being "watched.. And you would have to accept an "opt out" cookie on every browser on every pc in your house, this cookie could well be removed by anti spyware programs leaving you "opted in". The only way to be sure is to use an ISP that does not subscibe to Phorm. So perhaps it would be a good idea to vote on who will stay with Virgin and who will leave. Just looked at the sky user forum and 82% say they will leave Sky if they sign with Phorm. If the same goes for Virgin it could have very serious effects on their future.
