Wonder how happy Phorm are that customers of Virgin Media have already started to move to none Phorm Isp’s.
VirginMedia stand to lose a lot of revenue not just on Broadband but on there other packages. Any VirginMedia customer that moves to a non Phorm ISP will have to change there phone line. That will then mean that they will have to disconnect there TV.
So VirginMedia stand to have customers moving to the following. BT, Sky, A Non Phorm ISP.
Virgin will be crazy if they allow that to happen by jumping into bed with Phorm.

What we're aiming to have in the update next week is a set of diagrams and a walk through explaining how the system will work when it's live, I hope that this will make things a lot clearer for people."
So BT seem to be constantly modifying their position on how their opt-out will work, presumably as a result of pressure from their customers. Their current position appears to be that if a customer opts-out of the Phorm system, then that customer's web traffic will not be mirrored or profiled. This arrangement is the only one which could persuade me to stay with Virgin Media if they introduce Phorm's system to their network.
So what have you got to say, VM? |
Indeed that's my stance as well. I do not want my data to touch any equipment that has been installed in a Virgin Headend or Pop site that has anything to do with the Phorm system. That has been supplied by the Phorm company. That Phorm have any connection with what so ever.
If my data does then it is goodbye Virgin Media hello SKY, BT, Be Unlimited.
