"one click" "new customers" these claims have been called into doubt in this thread already.

  I can only speak for myself but my experience has been exactly as I claimed. I have two broadband connections in my home, one from BT and one from Virgin Media. The BT connection has no filtering enabled (the screenshot in my post is from my BT account) and it only took one click to confirm I didn't want filtering, my Virgin Media connection is not filtered and I haven't had to touch any settings for that. Perhaps an individual ISP has improperly implemented their system?

    If there was no filtering on BT, why did you have to click to confirm anything? What would happen if you did not confirm?

      I wanted to see how the system worked so that I would be able to comment on it from a position of experience and be able to provide screenshots for when it was being discussed.

    > Perhaps an individual ISP has improperly implemented their system? This is most likely the case. My larger point being, let's not even defend or apologize for this system.

    If you're posting to Hacker News, we can probably assume you're above the average level of computer usage. Maybe for you it seems like "one click," but for grandma and her new laptop, would it be?
