For talktalk, you have to opt-in to enable their filtering. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/talktalk-to-offer-parents-a-blanket-opt-831842 http://www.mirr

  Hmm. According to http://www.techdigest.tv/2012/05/talktalk_turn_o.html http://www.techdigest.tv/2012/05/talktalk_turn_o.html all new customers get the block unless they specifically ask for it to be removed.

    Who knows... It's a bit ridiculous (from the article) "meaning that any new TalkTalk users who require access to such content will first have to "opt-in" through a highly embarrassing call to customer services." It's hardly "highly embarrassing" to ask them to remove a filter. If they do go that route though, and as the article claims, ask you to opt-out once a year, then they'll simply lose customers to ISPs that don't hassle their customers.

      "It's hardly "highly embarrassing" to ask them to remove a filter." I completely disagree. Many people would be very embarrassed phoning up to have an adult content filter removed. You can argue that they shouldn't be, but that's a different thing altogether.
