The poll of visitors to ISPR got approx 1,100 votes, over 56% would leave their ISP if they adopted Phorm, 25% didn't know what Phorm is.
Still, it should hardly come as any surprise that this sort of thing is not popular with end users... Why else would their advertising engine (when they were 121media) appear in a root kit (
