True but unfortunately VM now have a de facto monopoly for cable in the UK. Even if I was prepared to ditch my 20Mb VM broadband, the best ADSL I can get where I live is 6Mb and I'd still have to pay for BT to reinstall a phone line even if I wanted to go with Zen or whoever. So a proper opt-in with zero touch from phorm if you don't opt in will do me fine. And if some people are stupid enough to opt-in, well that's up to them. Some people still use IE.....

BTW "Never trust anyone who takes money from you" as a wise man should have said.
