I can't, again, no different to companies like doubleclick. I see it as no
better or worse than doubleclick et al.

Except that for Doubleclick you actually have to request one of their
adverts for them to get any information on you at all. They can only
target ads to you based on this. Phorm sees *all* of your browsing
activity regardless.

I'm also looking for a reasonably cheap system along similar lines -
Aria seem good and appear to deliver nationwide - are they reliable?
How does one find out who the more reliable suppliers are?

I've bought stuff from Aria before and I'd say they're pretty good.  Not 
sure what the pre-built PCs are like though.
