    Plusnet have a simple online system with a big On-Off switch and different categories to block with a timer so you can still watch porn whilst the kids are at school. Quite good really.

    I wonder which category CUK comes under: Hate & Intolerance, or Offensive & Tasteless?

    But you can login to your account and remove that setting quite easily.

    In Dubai at the moment and all p0rn is blocked.

    Amature. I film my encounters with hookers. In the US this keeps me out of the hands of vice police as my activities become legal. Well, apart from the ones with beagles.

    They might lose some customers but they might also gain a lot of new ones if they're seen as "anti-porn" from the conservative/religious/parent demographics.
    Yeah, because those demographics really hate porn. Too much sex, probably.

    There's no evidence that I'm aware of showing that to have happened with the existing process, and they're not offering any service that isn't available from every ISP in the UK.

    Fortunately kids only have access to the internet in schools.

    Something to do with this story from last week? Porn filters not widely used in UK says Ofcom - BBC News

    I recall Hamface making a big thing about requiring ISPs to provide opt-out porn filters, claiming that he was single-handedly rescuing family values in the UK from a tsunami of filth, or some such nonsense. Now it turns out the measure was pretty much a waste of time and money.

    Quite a lucky coincidence that, less than a week later, Sky Broadband have come out with an announcement that vaguely suggests the policy still has value
