Do you always get bounced around so many ntl nodes before your traffic gets out? How do those old traces compare with what you are seeing today? With my broadband supplier I go through 2 of their nodes (the one that picks me up and the one that does the DNS to route me to the destination) and then straight to the host of the site I am tracing to. My LAN and the destination host bounce me around more than my ISP.

The first response I received from my MP included the BERR response that is dated 10 June 2008 - they (BERR) now have a database of who contacted their MP and sent an identical letter to everyone.

The gist of the letter is that the ICO has everything in hand and that there is no consideration for anything other than DPA and monitoring (not interception?) for advert delivery. The interception of all the other browsing done by the ISP customer is excluded from discussion.

To quote from a later paragraph from that quoted above:
"... Both the ICO and I [Shriti Vadera] have discussed with BT their plans to run a trial involving around 10,000 broadband users, and the company has confirmed their decision that customers' web browsing will only be monitored for subsequent delivery of advertisements if they decide to opt-in to the trial. BT have also told us that the system will not store personally identifiable information, URLs, or IP addresses nor retain browsing histories, and that search information will be deleted almost immediately and will not be retrievable later. The ICO will maintain close contact with Phorm and BT throughout the trial. Similarly any ISP putting Phorm into commercial use is going to need to deploy similar safeguards to satisfy the ICO."

Not the careful wording - browsing is only being monitored so there is no interception taking place, move along please.

I am waiting for a reply to the response I sent to my MP - mainly asking about RIPA and Copyright Designs and Patents Act. All of which had been in earlier correspondence but completely ignored by the responses received.

I read that as if you dont opt in they they only monitor your browsing so those not opt`in are still going through the dpi kit, that`s how i read it.
