Not necessarily. Since the ads inserted on OIX sites are choosen by the Phorm servers (which change these ads to targetted ones for those who are opted in) it is perfectly feasible to have a bunch of ads to be served to all who are not opted in (and anybody else not in the Phorm network for that matter) which have a "Phorm is off, click here to turn on" button. They will only change the ads for opted in customers, who will get the other version. No need to check whether you are opted in to serve these generic ads.

Non Phorm customers may wonder what it all about but will get the message that your ISP is not using Phorm if they click on it.

(I think I have understood what I have been trying to say....)
