Re: Content block on broadband needs removing

Exactly what 'content block' are you talking about?

There is an adult content block on plusnet and I want it removed. Think I have to go through staff or something to do it.

So far as I know, that is only on the phones, and yes that has to be requested - on the Mobile board. I'm not aware of such a policy on Broadband (FTTC/ADSL) although I understand 'Parental Controls' maybe available somewhere. As I never bothered with them when I was a PN customer, I've no clear idea where they may be, but I think they were somewhere in the Member Centre.

Re: Content block on broadband needs removing

@alex9  John ( @jab1 ) is correct, the Adult conent block only applies to Mobiles. There is a facility called Safeguard available on broadband accounts but it is not enabled by default. Information on how to use it is here https://www.plus.net/help/broadband/how-to-use-plusnet-safeguard/

Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.

Fix

Some browsers (eg DuckDuckGo) block adult content by default. I mention this purely for information; at my age access to such content would cause system overheating, blow all fuses and result in a terminal event 😥
