I think anyone else at risk of Phorm should do likewise. So does Tim Berners-Lee. So does Professor Ross Anderson.

"The message has to be this: if you care about your privacy, do not use BT, Virgin or Talk-Talk as your internet provider", Professor Ross Anderson, Cambridge University, UK.

Got my VM cases packed and I am ready to go! I'm just waiting for VM to announce any links stronger to Phorm than they currently are saying and I will be off.
They can whistle for any contract money in court. (That's if I don't get there first!) There is no way any ISP who adopts Phorm is having my business broadband, phone, TV or otherwise. I will move the lot. As long as I perceive the T&C's have changed that's good enough for me.
I have quite a few friends who are less outspoken but are very much just as angry and feel the same way. They have said they will follow my lead. It could be interesting.
Where I work BT stands to lose about £1000 per month in call charges / phones etc. if they take Phorm fully on-board as there is no way the company I work for will be staying with BT either. The owner is adamant he will have nothing to do with BT if they pursue this mad folly.
