The operator also intends to &#8220;<em>proactively<\/em>&#8221; inform all of their existing customers about the service by the <strong>end of 2014<\/strong>. Users whom enable it should eventually be able to select from a list of categories that they can block.<\/p>\n<p>But at present Web Safe actually &#8220;<em>blocks access to all categories<\/em>&#8220;, so it\u2019s a total block (yes or no). Later phases will introduce greater personalisation, allowing the account holder to block access to some categories while enabling access to others. This seems like an unusual approach to take at launch for such a sensitive issue.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ngg-singlepic ngg-none\" alt=\"web-safe-screen-shot\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/wp-content\/gallery\/2014-article-illustrations\/web-safe-screen-shot.jpg\" \/><\/div>\n<p>The Web Safe solution will similarly work in conjunction with Virgin&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.f-secure.com\/en\/web\/home_gb\/safe\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>F-Secure SAFE<\/strong><\/a> software, which protects consumer devices when outside of the home (e.g. computers, tablets, smartphones etc.).

Similarly many children aren\u2019t stupid and will find ways around the blocking if that&#8217;s what they want.<\/p>\n<p>Separately Virgin&#8217;s announcement concerning their new broadband speed boosts <strong>up to 152Mbps<\/strong> doesn&#8217;t add anything to what we posted at the start of this month (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2014\/02\/virgin-media-uk-set-begin-broadband-speed-upgrades-152mbps.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>), thus there&#8217;s little point in us repeating what has already been written.
