Dear Mr XXXXXXXX,
Thank you for your e-mail.
No problems whatsoever, I understand your situation and will gladly assist you in anyway possible.
If you stay on what you are on then your data stream will be on a none intercepted path like it is now. BT cannot and will not do anything to disrupt the flow without your consent on taking up the option of webwise/phorm.
This is still in trial period mode at the moment and more details will be available if this option is launched officially.
The charge if you cease your broadband service will be as one lump sum and if you decide that moving is the way forward for you then I will be able to supply you a MAC Code.
I look forward to your next correspondence.
Thank you for contacting BT.
Yours sincerely,
Jamie XXXXXX

"This is still in trial period mode at the moment " ????, does this mean the trial is running??
"If you stay on what you are on then your data stream will be on a none intercepted path like it is now", this seems to be a network address based system so things can be routed

That contradicts everything BT have said to me so far privately, that is attributable, and also what they have said on the Webwise FAQ.
They have committed to giving 24 hours notice for the trials. No such notice has been given. If they start trials without notice (again) then they really would be in deep PR doodoo - so I don't believe they are currently trialling - they are trying hard to get the trials started, and may well be trialling internally but I don't see how the trial can have started.
They have always said so far - no information in advance on the final rollout.
Secondly that they were working on a cookie free "not opting in" method, and thirdly - no comment on the actual methodology to be used in the trials until they were ready to start.
Knowing BT - the most likely reason for any confusion is poor internal communication.
You can check the current Webwise FAQ here
On the official Webwise site (sets a session cookie, and is not hosted by BT - the IPs resolve to Fasthosts)

or on the main BT site (may not be identical - BT are v poor at synchronising different sets of pages)
