Thanks for that SMharman. I havent made the time to read the Ernst and Young report yet. Not sure that I like the sounds of this though. I am dead set against phorm but I am on a low income and cant afford to change ISP (No BT line and no other options without one) but if VM do make this opt-out rather than opt-in I will downgrade my services to the lowest tier in protest. At least then they WILL be losing money.
As per the 14 day logs for research and debugging, I arent quite sure what to make of that. The AOL debacle last year showed that so called "anonymising" does not work and I guess it largely depends exactly how they define this "research." Personally I dont trust Phorm one iota. What I would like to say to the CEO of Phorm isnt polite enough for this forum.
