Its not hard to get around, if you rely on this your kids are still going to see whatever they want.

No - I don't rely on it. It is just another tool in the arsenal to assist with filtering. I do believe ISP's should assist with this kind of thing. I will still use my in-house tools such as filtering on my router and software installed on the kids machines.
When they are more savvy, they will find a way around it. Just like you can put as much security on your house, and if they want in, they will still find a way around it. You just gotta make it as hard as you can.

This is not to say it should be blocked outright. Just as a package you can select with your line. For the guy that wants a straight line with no filtering should simply be choice.

Guy I know give his kids internet with no limits. Crazy? Uncaring? No. He told them that he will be analyzing the proxy logs every week, and if he catches them going to dubious places, internet will be disabled for a month for the first offense, and will double for every offense after that.

yip
have a daughter in sulk mode because signing up for facebook as an 18yr old when you are in fact 11 gets you a one week break from the interweb

Why should this service offering be a problem? It is just giving consumers more choice after all. If porn is important to your health then choose something else...

Yup, that is the real solution. Can outsmart ISP's, filters etc.
But can't outsmart dad :)

This is good news. I have 3 kids each with their own PC's and trying to restrict "bad" content is a constant battle.

I hope other ISP's follow on with this...

I seriously love that line! :D

Oh, and how about a line that filters out any torrents, nntp, etc. Also, any anti-government text and- Oh, wait... Isn't there another country that does this? And don't they have the sickest porn industry in the world? Raping school girls, etc. Censorship leads to rebellion but I believe parents should have control over their kids. Especially the really young ones.
 
Only websites they'll be able to access will be asking to bring back teh pr0nage :P
 
Nice one XDSL.

Just how does it work? Do I have to load up some proxy setting in my browser since my kids a very computer savy and will bypass that.
