Re: Virgin Media Phorm Webwise Adverts [Updated: See Post No. 1, 77, 102 & 797]

LOL R Jones my cats have often walked across my keyboard one cat bless her she died last year used to move in and lie on it if she wanted attention and I was too busy...
But I wouldn't use BT for my internet just like I n o longer use Virgin Media for my intewrnet, mind they are trying to take over £30 for my last days billing so we now have th letter battle for a total breakdown on how they come up with the charges considering I moved last year to the 2meg BB and phone as I was only on incapaccity so could no longer afford their 4meg package, seems billing was amended to reflect my wishes but the package wasn't. Who is at fault me or them.... the fight will go on.

The only thing I would advise is that no-one takes on a new fixed-term contract and if their ISP contacts them asking them to renew I suggest refusing and telling them why.
Entanet is a large company reselling IPstream on their own centrals they have no intentions of adding phorm since majority of their customers are business customers.
Zen have their own centrals plus some LLU in Rochdale they are also not planning on implementing Phorm on their network.

If you go via a small ISP that uses BT managed then Phorm on 21cn could be implemented so you have to check how they new ISP is supplied.

I have to say my service since leaving Virgin Media has been excelent i get faster speeds 24/7 if it slows down in the evening I still have a respectable 2meg unlike VM 512k
