And then Hexxeh shuts down my VPS for going over b/w limit.
And thus commences the second golden age of Limewire.

Virgin are really good in my area.
For a group called 'the Mothers' Union', they're pretty shitty parents if they can't just block their kids from seeing inappropriate content with parental controls.
To be honest though, I reckon it's probably helpful to development that it's so available for teenagers on the internet.

FanaticalVPS. Unmetered, so as long as you aren't streaming at 300mbit/s then you'll be fine.
You have to opt in not out, as people have said many times you fools, quit yer worrying

You have to opt in if you [i]don't[/i] want porn to be blocked.

Christ just fire up hotspot shield, problem solved.
[QUOTE=shakadamus;32730580]It should be you can opt into being blocked, not having to opt out to being blocked.[/QUOTE]
That's what I mean. It was announced that it's going to be like that.
BBC News is a far more justifiable source than The Guardian.

Same here, are you in a former NTL area by any chance?
I'll laugh if they block proxies
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;32727052]Facepunch in its crusade against injustice should provide every Brit here with as much porn as possible. They can shut down the sites but they can't tear down Facepunch![/QUOTE]
I've got tons of strange stuff if you guys want it.

I don't seem to be having any problems. (Well besides the SuperHub being an unbelievable piece of arse, thank god for Modem Only mode.)

Make your own, problem solved.

NTL/TELEWEST YEAAAH
I'm more worried about that complaints website, just another excuse for retardedly easy to offend people to complain about fucking everything and get stuff ruined and banned for the rest of us.

What's that got to do with anything? I'm in a former NTL area, we've been with NTL/VM since we moved into the house 14 years ago.
-snip- sorry
damn it, now people in the uk are going to start torrenting their porn and the porno industries will start working with the government to stop porno piracy.
I can see it now.
A porno prohibition and being thrown in jail for watching porn.
"What are you in for?"
"I tugged my dick."
"Yea.... me too."
"wanna tug dicks?"
"sure"
Even if it's opt-in blocking, it still shouldn't fucking be there on principle

I haven't had any problem with the SuperHub, once I had disabled various filtering settings.

Most of the complaints I have seen from people about network problems have been from former Telewest areas. Maybe their end of the VirginMedia network is not at the same level as the NTL side.
This is where I'm glad I have a fetish instead of normal porn, because you know it's only a matter of time before the U.S. government sees this and says "AWESOME! SOMETHING ELSE WE CAN FUCK UP BEYOND ALL RECOGNITION!"

Pony?

Quick, block all MLP sites.
aside from that.
Proxies are your friend.
Or you can just grow some balls, march into your mums room, tell her you are putting your foot down and you want her to opt in to the porno service because [B]you fucking said so[/B].
It's worth a try.

I've know a few people to have latency issues at peak times on the other exchange we have in the city but other than that nothing from people I know.
Now with the SuperHub I get really annoying little issues like it wont accept Static IP's (I had to reserve an IP for my MAC Address on the router instead, would have disabled DHCP but other people in the house use Dynamic and it was too much hassle), sometime it just decides not to load the config page and occasionally wont forward ports. It's a picky little bastard. A few other friends of mine have had similar issue but once I get my hands on a Gigabit router I'll stick it in Modem mode.

I intend to ring them up and say "turn my porn back on."

Hurrah for living in a nanny state.
