Have a quick look at http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/01/22/plusnet_new_customer_signup_page_transmits_unencrypted_detai...
I don't like seeing PN being "told off" in the press so you'd better start fixing this soon

1) Passwords are stored encrypted in the database.
2) We are urgently working to fix the lack of https in the sign up process.

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/01/22/plusnet_network_filter_to_block_pirate_sites_censor_access/
Now, then. Couple of questions which seem of paramount importance to me:
1 - Is this censorship voluntary? IE, can I enable different levels of censorthip or disable it altogether?
2 - Are you guys REALLY going down the DPI route? Because as much as I love PlusNet, is will be out of here liek a flash if you start spying on my usage like that...
Enquiring minds most certainly DO want to know!

2. Plusnet already does DPI, it's how the traffic management works.

I don't see how anyone can have problem with networks conforming with court orders regarding copyright material.
On the other hand, I also don't see why networks (or the government) should automatically impose Parental Controls on internet access when the majority of households don't have children. Looks like PN won't have much say in it, of course given Cameron technically illiterate proposals.

I am also aware that router login, FTP login and user account login all use the same ID and password.

Quote from: WTF The El Reg story seems to conflate Parental Controls and blocking sites with 'pirate' content.
Ish. I don't think it's 100% clear. ISPReview have picked that up that way though
If you were doing then parental controls with an in-line network device, you could do both at that level. If the parental controls are DNS based, you couldn't. It's all down to final design.

There are no children in my house but it should be up to me as a responsible parent to decide and chose whether I would like content control done by Big Brother or whether to turn it off and, you know, educate my kids myself...

I'm sure PN will let us know more about this when the time comes.
I must admit the whole thing is really starting to make me rather uncomfortable...
