Sky do not provide any such service other than the parental restriction for dubious websites.

Your vendor (Apple/Samsung) do provide controls if enabled.

Thank you, it was more for time, ie/not possible to use after 830pm until 8am

I thought that might have been the case, I think they used to do it

@Longyforty5

For broadband over WiFi, the current version is this one, based on the Max Hub

WiFi Max cannot block cellular data.

The previous 'Broadband Buddy' app which was installed on individual devices and so exerted a much greater degree of control doesn't exist any more (and hasn't for several years)
