The vast majority of UK internet users are not taking advantage of net censors designed to filter out pornography and other content, according to the communications regulator Ofcom.
Parental controls are offered to users to prevent children seeing unsuitable material. Sky customers were most likely to implement the filters and BT customers least likely, Ofcom reported.
Some 97% of those who had adopted filters said they were useful.
The UK’s largest internet service providers (ISPs) are required under a semi-voluntary agreement with the UK government to adopt network-level filtering via a scheme known as Active Choice Plus.
Between 30% to 40% of Sky customers enabled filters, Ofcom’s report said.
That compared to 14% for TalkTalk, 12% for Virgin Media and 6% for BT.
