BT have certainly told us as account holders that WE must oversee our accounts and WE must oversee the use of Webwise by all users of our network. Somehow. They don't explain to me how I can oversee my adult daughter's use of her laptop and BT sub account on my home wireless network sharing my IP address when she visits from London, but never mind - it is my responsibility to do that according to BT. I'll probably have to beat her up or tie her up or something - (joke!)

So you DO have to do something. BT told you to.
So it would be reasonable for you to want to exercise the control, they are on record as telling you, that you must exercise. - snip -
.
And we still havent had any indication by BT as to how all of our British forces personnel Army, Airforce, Navy, frequently away for months on end, are supposed to manage their home accounts on behalf of their families if they are by default opted in whilst on tour of duty.
Edit: Falling under the official secrets act, all of these people may now feel that personal communication with home may be compromised, and what little information they can convey to their family about current circumstance will have to be witheld.
EDIT2: Did somebody pass wind?, seems to be a bit of a pregnant pause in responses here.
