"Its not a bad thing."
It's a waste of my time. I agree they should put filters into public places, but I don't see why I should have to ring my ISP to turn the filters off |

"I disagree.
I'd rather a quick call to confirm I'm an adult and that I want the adult filters off than them automatically being off and kids viewing all sorts x"
Why can't parents ring up and ask for the filters? |

Parents are just getting lazy these days if you ask me, want other people to bring up their kids for them
I'm not aiming this at you or at anyone in particular, it's just an observation I've had |

"What's the problem? You too embarrassed? It'll take 5 to 10 mins to call them if that, so quit ya moaning and just do it  "
I'm not embarrassed, I just don't see why I should have to call to take the filters off when parents could call and turn them on as its for there kids well being |

And you think parents have the time to call them when they have kids to look after, tea to make, washing to do, arses to wipe. The majority of the population who have the internet have kids aswell so it cuts down on staff for the ISP's, calls waiting etc. Just call them and stop whining |

Just found this about sky which is my current internet provider...
"Sky Broadband customers will be asked to make an active choice about the filters when getting online with Sky for the first time, or when they upgrade their routers," explains the company.
You need to choose wether you want to allow PG, 13 or 18. It takes 2 seconds and will be as part of a router upgrade for me so I will be on the phone anyway. So it's no skin off my nose. No waste of my time either.

Only takes 5 to 10 minutes (your words), sure parents can find the time to call it if it doesn't take long |

Is literally worth getting this wound up about it? I suspect a lit of patents will also be calling up as they will want to visit adult sites as well.
Now. How do I broach the subject of my dad ringing up our internet provider cos I want to access Fab??  |

I got my own place, a little extreme but at least I can do as I wish |

I think it's a good thing to actively have to ask to have the filters removed, it's not just naughty sites, it stops access to gambling sites.
This is a good step forward for internet safety for minors and I thoroughly support it.
I'd hazard a guess you can change your settings online without the need to call your ISP do should be a very painless exercise. |

"Why assume it's filters off because of children ?
There are billions of adults who don't want XXX rated violent / sex images and texts automatically coming at them without them asking."
That's a good point!!! I've googled some fairly innocent stuff before and been alarmed at what comes up! |

"By the time you have posted and answered others on this thread it could have been done and dusted "
by the time you wrote that, you could have called yours up to install filters, you know, because you don't want your kids to see anything they shouldnt and a good parent does what they can to protect there childred |

Is it really such a huge problem?
All you have to do is a give them a quick tinkle!!
I would rather the blanket cover to protect children! I really don't have a problem with making a quick call to get filters lifted! |
