Don't forget, whatever Virgin Media might be saying at the moment, no one forced them to put these words on their website (captured in April)
We are currently at the early stages of working to deliver the Webwise solution and will be writing to you nearer the time to advise when the solution will be ‘switched on’ providing more detail of what this will mean to you. Given the benefits of Webwise, we’re pleased to be offering you this service and making your web experience safer and more relevant.
Why has Virgin Media partnered with Phorm?
We are very keen to ensure our customers have a safer online experience, but without blocking access. In this respect Webwise allows us to alert customers that they may be attempting to visit a site known to be fraudulent. Additionally, by providing customers with more relevant advertising, they should be able to find products and services that are more interesting for them.
Brings back happy memories of asking questions... then being confined to Fergals 'Webwise' thread... getting no answers... Fergal and Alex not responding to anything for months...
