Dads use the internet too.
was anyone really expecting these filters to actually not get opted out of, then get installed, and then work, and then not be bypassed completely?

My parents are too clueless to set up the internet so I had to do it. Need I say more?
I'm kinda interested in the huge leap in percentage with the last provider. The rest are under 10% and the last one is 36? Something seems off.

Schools already have a hard enough time making filters work, because students always find a way around them with online proxys or portable VPNs. Did they really think they could make it work in a home setting?
When I had a new Virgin Media installation the first time I used it I had to activate it and in the activation screen it gave me a set of options on what I'd like to block. It was totally none invasive and quite well laid out, although I'd hate to be living in a shared house or somewhere where I had no control over my own internet connection and have things blocked. Although I could use a VPN quite easily most people would be stuck
