    Dirty pervs less likely to use TalkTalk

    According to ofcom.

    In July 2013, Prime Minister David Cameron announced the major UK internet service providers (ISPs) had agreed to offer "unavoidable choice" parental control filters, which block legal pornography and other adult subjects "by default".

    The percentage of customers taking up the option for each service provider are as follows:

    Virgin Media - 4%
    BT - 5%
    Sky - 8%
    TalkTalk - 36%

    Does looking at legal pornography make one a dirty perv?

      I know someone who has a blog about their cats, this filter blocks it not due to any content, but once someone said the word pussy
      Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

      No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

          Apparently VirginMedia's engineers are in the habit of declining the filter as part of the setup process. Shows that, unlike Dave, they actually know what their customers want

                I've never understood porn filters. Anyone with a basic knowledge of IT knows how to get round it.
                We had a bet that I couldn't get round the work porn filter in 30 seconds.
                I just did a google search tumblr + sex and bingo!
