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

If I query the netcraft netblock owner (see here)

3 hosts are listed in the same netblock (88.208.248.0,88.208.248.255)
webwise.bt.com 88.208.248.102
www.phorm.com 88.208.248.102 (the same host as above), then 88.208.250.66, now 89.145.112.32
www.tecreports.co.uk 88.208.248.85 (same address range)

History of www.phorm.com;
http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=www.phorm.com
OS Server Last changed IP address Netblock Owner
Linux Apache/2.2.3 (Red Hat) 23-May-2008 89.145.112.31 Phorm IPv4 Assignment
Linux Apache/2.2.3 (FH) 25-Apr-2008 88.208.250.66 UK's largest web hosting company based in Gloucester

So something happened today (or was first recorded today)... Phorms hosting has changed hasn't it?

Re: Virgin Media Phorm Webwise Adverts [Updated: See Post No. 1, 77, 102 & 797]
moved to somewhere wwith more bandwidth ready for the trial and mass of data to be collated?

or moved to cheaper hosting centre as phorms going down the crapper?

would prefer the later but probably the first

So Phorm are now comfortably in the bosom of BT, I'm sure Virgin and TalkTalk are confident that their "competitor" has control of a partners domain.
