Re: Virgin Media Phorm Webwise Adverts [Updated: See Post No. 1, 77, 102 & 797]
The problem is whichever way you look at it, this PIA is open to spin manipulation. If it's critical of webwise, it will be disregarded by Phorm under the premise that Phorm's critics denounced it beforehand; if it supports webwise, we will reject it as 'bought'. I think that makes the PIA just some words written by some bloke who none of us know. Is it really of any more value that a column written by a hack in a National rag? I can't see how.
I think Simon should be left to reflect on this sorry tale. I think the encouragement has to focus on our friendly-neighbourhood ISP's who need their customers as much as we enjoy the services they provide. I don't want the contract I have with my ISP tinkered with and, for me, therein lies the real issue. Not Phorm. Not Kent. Not Simon. Virgin Media, whom I have found to be a fair and honest Company and who still have NOT committed to an agreement that is very unpopular with its customers, is who I'm am relying on.
