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.

you have it right Cameraman, the only real problem is that Virgin Media are the monopoly when it comes to UK cable, unlike the sky users that are already using a BT line and could just get their codes and move to another DSL supplyer on the same bit of wire, the cable users dont have that simple luxury.
perhaps its time to take the monopoly away and open up the network to real 3rd partys, after all the old AOL did have a rebanded ex-pre-VM CM deal so it can be done....
thats were using the current legal small claim options are oyr best collective options right now, alongside the other things we have already done.
readers need to start puting forward all the SC options we have available to us, and put the sequence of events to take, for such action to happen (much as the unlawful charges did recently in educating us all to the power we hold)...
