I'm a gonner. That includes all Virgin Media services too, including the mobile.

I also suspect they trialled this software in 2006/7. I have records of complaints made to vm.f at the time (including my own) about strange faults affecting web traffic. After the revelations about BT trials, I simply don't trust VirginMedia any more.

My internet connection is simply too important to me to be compromised by idiots like Phorm. I don't want to share any aspect of my net surfing with a bunch of Adware/Spyware merchants based in Moscow/Delware. And I don't want Virgin's 'Internet Product Architect' operating my service, if he can't understand what's wrong with Phorm.

So the choice was made for me. Aquiss have been great, I'm actually getting a faster connection from them than I had with Virgin.

Here's some tips if you want to move to a decent ISP.

Pete.
