Is a wire tap a myth or a reality for the consumer? If so what is the advice, which is the best broadband ISP in this respect?
 
Under the current RIPA rules if the government or a security service wanted to "tap" your connection (i.e. collect some very basic logs of your online server times/dates/accesses - BUT NOT THE CONTENT OF YOUR COMMUNICATION) then they'd first need to seek permission and only then would the ISP be required to take some action.

Meanwhile the new Comms Data Bill intends to go a lot further but it's currently being rewritten after significant opposition and a scathing review.

Of course anybody who does want to hide their online activity would probably have no problems with using a VPN, so it's somewhat of a wasted effort.
