Unfortunately at the moment virgins filters block absolutely nothing, I wish it was just a case of trying to block youtube
Was told by customer service to individually put in every website I want blocked.. I mean even if I wanted to sit here for the next 10 years typing in every chat room every adult site, every drug site ect ... it wouldn't work anyway because none of their websafe features do. Could type in a 100 websites and not a single one would be blocked
This is a prime example of having to bite the bullet and take control of your own networking. I know it's money, and an ISP "should" do this and that, but you have seen the reality.
If you are really worried, a 3rd Party router and better DNS ( Cloudflare, OpenDNS etc ) will go a long way to alleviate your concerns.
Also if you do decide to move ISP, most generally let you use 3rd party kit, so it's not money wasted and the solution will still work.
