I wonder whether this might just be Phorm? Does anyone know the opt-out mechanism, if any, for NebuAd or any other data raper?
It isn't Phorm it is NebuAd. And I wouldn't be holding my breath if I was them they are on the brink of being involved in some legal messes due to their ISP partners "forgetting" to send out the letters informing the customers of the new "service".

NebuAd and similar companies are coming under a lot of attention from US politicians and privacy groups at the moment, it won't be long before the US public are up in arms about it.

Oh and the spike last Friday was nothing to do with a new deal either. According to my sources in the City it was based on speculation that the BT Trials will be starting in next couple of weeks.
