Maybe they should consider changing their name to no XXXDSL.

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...

No it should not. Although if they want to sell it as a value-add or separate service its not really an issue, but the mere idea that they think like that is concerning.
And good luck to them actually filtering out all that content. Seems like an effort in futility.
Whats the point of this internet thingy if you can't surf porn? 
I only got the damn thing for good porn.
I think an isp that filters everything out apart from porn would actally make more money.
who on here, honestly, honestly, honestly never looks at a bit of porn every now and again.

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

I'm not going to click on that link! No ways not at work
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.

Yup, that the way to go, let the govement/business educate and look after your kids. It's a wonder we dont have more kids poking each other in the necks with knifes.

Whoop-de-do, another ISP that thinks it is God. Next thing they'll start filtering out warez and torrent sites.
Whilst I am not into pr0n at all, and I have no interest in it, I do, however object to this kind of filtering, because it sets a preceedent, for ISP's to play God.
I know of some ISP's that have done this (corporate ones only) and they eventually went out of business because the customers felt they had no right to dictate to them what they can and cannot access on the web.
This is just like the great firewall of China.

Which genius cam up with this?
You can just cut out the porn industry. Pretend they don't exist!
Remember the VHS/Betamax war was decided by the American porn industry.
Why don't parents just put the PC in a common space where someone is always walking past. Actually most 10 year old could teach their parents a thing or two.

Oh and there's another thing.. This ISP thinks that doing this is going to stop kids from getting pr0n? They've got another thing coming. Last year it was all in the tabloids how the kids record the porn off of E-TV to get the access numbers to the mobile pr0n sites.
Yet another case of using a bulldozer to swat a fly, and penalising the wrong users.

NO! WANT MOAR PR0N!!!
Hehehe. But seriously: the parents blame the teachers, heavy metal bands, GTA and now big business.
"When a dude's gettin bullied and shoots up his school
And they blame it on Marilyn (on Marilyn)... and the heroin
Where were the parents at?"
Maybe if the parents spent more time parenting and less time pointing fingers and slacking off we wouldn't have this problem. IF YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO BE A PARENT DON'T BREED!
