CrowmanUK 0 Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 You may have heard about phorm and BT's allegedly illegal trials in 2006 and 2007 where they tested it out without asking consent from their customers, phorm boils down to your browsing being inspected for a targetted advertising campaign, some of the big isps are in talks to implement it and you can read all about it here http://www.inphormationdesk.org/welcome.htm So just when you thought you'd got rid of all the spyware/malware off your pc, your ISP makes you have it whether you want it or not, nice eh?

Rocky 1,224 Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Yeh this is bad news, but mate you should see the VM newsgroups since you left, it's an absolute slaughter house. The speed capping traffic management debate has really kicked off since the ASA penalised VM over their advertising and used the word "cap" in their judgment. The threads are huge, I just can't keep up with them LOL. BE is getting lots of airtime too, quite a few people gave left to join them by the looks of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CrowmanUK 0 Posted July 5, 2008 Author Share Posted July 5, 2008 I thought theyd made all the VM staff redundant who were manning the newsgroups mate, the thread on cableforum about phorm is huge now too, over 11,000 replies and theyre organising a protest too. The biggest problem is that phorm are run by a group that were identified as a spyware company so would you trust anything they say or do? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
