Given that there is no legal requirement for Virgin to limit its customers access to the WWW I think its unacceptable unless of course Branson will be offering his customers a rebate on their broadband.

Big Brother is here and I fear what we all download is being scrutinized far more than the blinkered majority know. Neither of our office IT lads will have anything to do with Cloud storage after coming back from a Microsoft exam. The NSA and other agencies love it...now back to Pornhub!

It's just going to be 'On' by default instead of off, easily rectified by a couple of clicks on their website.

it's Sky (Murdoch) doing it, not the bearded wonder at Virgin.

I'm sure it is and I'm sure 'they' have a long list of people and sites that they are keeping an eye on. And when it comes to nutty islamists, kiddie fiddlers etc. I have no problem with that. But at the same time there is no way that they can monitor - much less "scrutinze" - all of the literally billions of e-mails, downloads and uploads that occur on a daily basis across the entire www. Probably 99.99% of which would in any case be of no interest to them whatsoever.

Sky have already been doing this for new customers for about a year.
All they are doing now is extending it to existing customers.
It's not much of a story really. As Peter pointed out a couple of clicks will remedy the matter.
