I'm so sorry. But I do hope they have improved since I last used them for a community project myself. But don't they already have filtering themselves? They did when I last used them. Not even clever filtering either - you had to manually set your browsers proxy settings. They agressively blocked just about everything too - so when their rubbish DNS servers blew-up, we were effectively offline. They even blocked ssh. Actually, they firewalled or proxied *everything* that I remember. We ran a separate ISDN2 connection via a FRIACO type dial-up just to make the intersting stuff that we wanted work. We looked at using them for a commercial project, but they were stupidly expensive and wouldn't budge an inch on the filtering and poxying. Their loss..
