- sirjimithy, on 12/01/2008, -1/+19Speaking of sketchy spam tactics, what's with the sudden surge of spammers on Digg? I probably wouldn't target a tech-savvy community like Digg with this crap.
- RealmDown, on 12/01/2008, -0/+17Bury, report, block. I've used that more in the last month than I did the previous 16 months.
- Arock66, on 12/01/2008, -0/+7UK ISPs are getting just as dirty as the Australian ones. They get you with silly "fair use" conditions and about a dozen more conditions.
- JamesMorris, on 12/01/2008, -0/+7***** BT. I plan to switch to Be/o2 as soon as i can.
- tomjowitt, on 12/01/2008, -0/+5Me too. I've been a BT Broadband customer for 10 years now due to the incredibly solid uptime and speeds. But they're way overpriced, the call centre staff can't understand a word of English and the whole Phorm thing is completely unacceptable.
- MrARPA, on 12/01/2008, -0/+4BT are censoring their forums to stop discussion of Phorm. They know they have behaved fundamentally dishonestly towards customers and are hoping to hush things up and implement Phorm under the guise of anti-phishing technology.

- DigitAl56K, on 12/01/2008, -0/+2WebWise is a horrible, horrible system. It's opt-out, and it works by setting a cookie in your browser. You have to set the cookie in every http client on every system you own. If your cookies are ever cleared or expired you're opted back in.
BT/Phorm should be legally required to permanently record the subscribers choice by MAC address, it's the only sane way that a subscriber could persistently turn off this "service" for their connection.
I bet Phorm/WebWise would ***** themselves if this was proposed though because given a choice that would let them permanently opt-out and enough information I bet the majority of people would opt out and the entire scheme would fail. After all, who wants someone intercepting all of their web traffic and injecting cookies and ads man-in-the-middle style? - benologist, on 12/01/2008, -0/+2I used the website bug contact form to report some guy the other day and he was deleted in like 5 minutes. Burying and reporting just doesn't seem to do anything really.

- awggie, on 12/01/2008, -0/+1so typical of companies these days... makes me wonder what the future holds, when companies continually screw the customer harder and harder as a manner of business practice.. i guess its up to the consumers to be more informed.. then i guess your down to the average joe, who we all know, sucks. (plumber or not)
- Psych77, on 12/02/2008, -0/+1You say unlimited... but as Sky broadband are currently the only UK ISP who offer unlimited access (i.e. no "Fair" use policy), you're wrong.
- neutronphaser, on 12/01/2008, -0/+1This activity is not wholesome.
- pintomp3, on 12/01/2008, -0/+1the economy is rough.
- michaelfran, on 12/01/2008, -0/+1As Data becomes more valuable than Ads, we'll see this more and more (albeit under the table).
- RadicalRick, on 12/01/2008, -1/+1Yup about to do the exact same thing myself, tripple the speed, unlimited, better service and best of all no spying.
- chanop, on 12/01/2008, -3/+2I would like to share with you an opportunity...That really has people talking. I have dreams, I'm sure you do too!
- WomensUnderwear, on 12/01/2008, -2/+1they are the same company you morons
- mabsark, on 12/01/2008, -3/+0***** them all, I'm planning on swithing to a neighbors wireless router.
- inactive, on 12/01/2008, -6/+3Thanks for sharing :)
