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

I just done myself out of 50 quid because of Phorm; all because I choose to spread the word.

Just got a call from a 'survey group' working on behalf of BT asking about BT Vision. It seems they are looking for people who have both BT Vision and Sky, and a child over 10 years old in the household.

They want to interview families who have this combination at their homes for an hour, (for which they are willing to pay £50); this is then followed up by attending a 'focus group' in a west end hotel for a couple of hours to discuss BT Vision.

I told the lady (who was vey nice btw) that I was planning to leave BT when my current contract was up at the end of July, so would not have BT Vision after that date. She, of course, asked, "Why?" I told her all about Phorm/ BT Webwise, about their evil plans to intercept our browing to feed us useless ads, and all about the illegal trials BT had carried out. She was appalled, and said she understood my stance.

Before ending the call she asked me to spell out Phorm for her so she could write it down and tell her office colleagues and friends about it.

Having a BT 'survey group' visit for an hour: £50
Getting a slap up meal and a nice night out at a top west end hotel: more dosh.

Spreading the word about BT/Phorm/Webwise: Priceless!

Why? Because it's worth it!
