I've already left Virgin. I would encourage everyone else to just sack off any organisation that thinks it can opt it's customers into any scheme without their consent.
""We have been working hard to improve customer service and listening to what our customers say, so will now be removing this charge from the outset."
I really don't care what they do anymore. As soon as I read about the Phorm story I arranged for a new line with another provider. I hope they rot in hell (or at least go bust).
As of two months ago I make approximately a third of what I used to make from hosting Adsense on my site. The content is roughly the same (it's a forum), the impressions and the clicks are roughly the same, and the ads themselves all look to have a similar theme to 2 months ago.
It seems pretty clear to me that Google just decided they wanted some more of the money for themselves. But obviously I have no way of proving it.
Well if Virgin squeezing my connection whilst using useful net features (VPN connections for example) wasn't bad enough! I am calling them first thing tomorrow to cancel my account.

Too late

Virgin
Virgin will be getting my cancellation call as soon as my new line is up and running (currently penned in for next week).
Final nail
