Parental Controls for Home Internet
Online activity can be monitored via your broadband provider to ensure that your child stays safe on the internet. Parental controls help you decide what your child can access online. Content filters reduce the chance of your children stumbling across inappropriate sites and you can monitor what your child has been looking at online.
