An alert for Plusnet's PAYG users on RIN.
In spite of all the assurances that Plusnet wouldn't use Phorm, a Plusnet user has received the Webwise invite page.

As mentioned on the Community forum where we had this brought to our attention, we are investigating this and have contacted BT. This shouldn't be happening.
The RIN network was a trial service and customers using it who wish to, can switch over to the Plusnet nework at any time using the @plusdsl.net realm.

I used to say that to you, how times have changed
So you can opt out I take it. Or you can revert to the PN Network. So it's hardly worth a song and dance at this stage is it?.

BT assured Plusnet that it wouldn't affect RIN users.
Can we trust them in relation to other ISPs and particularly WBMC?
That's why it is an issue.

Not a song and a dance, but worth a careful look.
When you opt out I believe you only opt out of the targeted ad's and phishing tool, the data still goes via Phorm hardware, or that may have changed now

The Phorm kit is in the gap between Access and Internet components and controlled by BT Retail.
So for BT Wholesale to manage to do this under WBMC would be a surprise to say the least.

Perhaps if going to discuss the merits of webwise/phorm etc it would be better to move discussion to the appropriate forum section.

Would BT use it if it was illegal

My point is PN customers can revert to the PN network. Bearing in mind RIN is actually BT's, it is reasonable to overlook that a small number of PN's customers use it.
PN have publically stated it shouldn't have happened. Give them time to investigate. This is just the sort of kneejerk POST that PN customers complained about in the past.
