Concerns about hackers are irrelevant - if they can hack into the ISPs computers, where the date will be held, then they can hack into everything anyway.

thebarron - I too would not give such details as I don't want cold callers on the phone.
Phorm though doesn't keep any data for any significant period (argue away !) so does not invade my privacy in the same way.
How do you know what phorm does? Only by what Ertugrul tells you. Do you believe what he says? - he doesn't exactly have a reputation for telling the truth, or even being consistent in his lies. If you were half as smart as you think you are you would realise what a risk BT and phorm investors are taking.
