Should that happen, I'll be joining the queue to dump cable and getting a BT phone line installed to enable ADSL2+.
And BT (Wholesale) don't offer anything like VM's 30-day guarantee on new installs -- I'll be committed for 18 months (half-price installation) no matter how VM might adjust their position after they've brought it in.
VM have had several weeks to consider the grassroots reaction to Phorm and have done (virtually) nothing. My guess is that either they don't value our privacy or the potential extra income from the targeted adverts is worth more than our subscriptions.
