I've just read that Register page and it prompted me to look at the competition...

I've been with Virgin (blueyonder) for 7 years and currently pay £42 p/m for:

Line Rental
TV Large
Broadband XL (20meg)

I can get a comparable package from BT/SKY/BE/O2 for £35-£40 p/m.

If I go with my mobile provider: o2, I can get Phone and BB for £22 p/m and just get freeview.

BT (and SKY) are doing free line installation for 2 months from now...

If Virgin adopt Phorm (or anything as bad) I will not hesitate to move.

p.s. I live within 1 mile of the ADSL2 exchange and would get 15-20megs.
