Parental controls

SC1272 — Sun, 30 Jun 2024 10:54:00 GMT

Just signed up to sky broadband and with BT I was abke to pause connection to individual cinnected devices if needed - eg kids ipads at nightbut still being able to use internet ourselves. It seems that this was available through Sky Buddy but this is now canvelled. Is there any way if controlling individual devices to reflect users?

@SC1272 You would need a Sky Max subscription in order to get this facility.

@SC1272 It has always been an added extra, it used to be with broadband boost subscription and is now on the Sky broadband Max subscription as broadband buddy was discontinuted.

If you have Sky Q television with more than one Mini box then Max currently isn't compatible and Sky won't offer it.
