So I have Vodafone mobile broadband.  I've had it for a couple of months and its starting to hack me off,  The thing is its content control. Christ, its like a nun. Apparently, its set at on as standard and you have to disable it using a credit card. I can understand this, these things are probably given to kids quite a lot so it makes sense to protect them but heres the thing. Go to the Ultimate link thread on this site. Try  clicking on the links. Get through? You're a step ahead of me. Porn sites I can understand but even links to comic databases and music sites are blocked.

Now, I've not tried to get it unlocked before now because whenever I clcked on a link it didn't like I got the message "Due to a temporary fault we cannot tell wether  you have disabled content control" which I took to mean that disabling it would be a waste of time cos it  still wouldn't let me past. Now that message is gone and I just get the content blocked message I figured I'd switch it off.

The call centre is closed so I went on to their website. I'm following a maze of links in  a circle. Has anyone had this problem? Can someone tell me the easiest route to get this sorted. Apparently there is a video on youtube but I'm damned if I can find it.

I could wait till the call centre is open tomorrow but circumstances are conspiring against me getting to bed tonight so I'd kinda like to get this sorted to free up my browsing for the night.
Any help greatly appreciated
