Parental Control

jF4 — Tue, 19 Mar 2024 17:33:18 GMT

Can you please advise if it's possible to restrict internet to certain devices within the house. I need to be able to turn it off on the children's devices from time to time but cannot see how to do this. I'm currently by having to unplug broadband but then we can't watch TV.

Please advise

Hi @jF4

Sky do offer this functionality but you need to have the Sky Max subscription. The only other alternative is purchasing a 3rd party router/access point and using the controls on that.

This is terrible by sky making money out of parents trying to limit internet access this should be a standard service

@Harriet16

Current legislation requires a minimum level of content filtering, which with Sky is through 'Broadband Shield'. There's no requirement for ISPs to provide time controls or per-device restrictions.
