I've had a recurring niggling feeling for some time that VM haven't told the truth, for some reason I seem to remember the sysip.net appearing at the bottom of my firefox window during last year. As I've always scanned for adware and malware it caught my attention.

Considering how quiet VM have been on the whole Phorm issue, and their other "ohh no we're not doing anything like that" claims about STM only to implement it soon after I'm beginning to think that the reason VM have stayed quiet is they're just as guilty as BT.

I may be wrong, but given VM's usual "honesty" on these sort of issues, makes me think that they have done a Phorm trial and used it on customers.
