Non-LLU ISPs may be affected if BT Wholesale do install Phorm (BT Retail is a reseller for BT Wholesale in much the same way as other Non-LLU ISPs). According to El Reg, it is rumoured that it is BT Wholesale installing the Phorm equipment.

Up until your comment above, it has always been stated everywhere that it was BT Retail that was going with PHORM and not BT Wholesale, but if the "
According to El Reg, it is rumoured that it is BT Wholesale installing the Phorm equipment" is to be believed and I have not seen it myself on the El Reg site (could you post a link to it please), then nearly everyone (NON LLU) will be effected assuming VM goes with it as well.
I have just emailed O2 as I am on their 'ACCESS' package (NON LLU) as they have previously assured me the following "
Thanks for your email. We don't currently use the PHORM system, and have no plans whatsoever to do so. I hope this make you feel safer about joining O2 Broadband." I have asked if they can look into it and let me know if the rumour is correct and if not make it clear to El Reg readers that it is not.
