How Phorm plans to tap your internet connection

Q: If they use a cookie for opt-out, how does this work if i switch pc?

if i opt-out of this service, i demand that it stick to my account, even if i have more than one PC, or clear my browser cookies, or get a new PC, etc.

How will they handle this? I will not permit someone to track my internet history.

The Cisco ACE doesn't seem to have any subscriber awareness, how would it remember that i am opted out? Does this mean BT is going with the 'send it all the way to the anonymiser'? method? This means i have all the extra latency and chance for failure even having opted out?

What about non-HTML traffic like windows update or YouTube video? Is all my large file transfers over HTTP going to this device?
