VIDEO: Digital donation tricks of charities
Ten of the UK's ISPs have voluntarily signed a code of practice that binds them to providing full and open access to the internet ? but three companies have decided not to sign. The code, which states that its signatories must offer open and full access to the net, not prioritise traffic to its own products or bar access to legal content, is currently backed by BT, O2, TalkTalk, Sky, Be, Kcom, Giffgaff, Plusnet, Tesco Mobile and Three. There are some exceptions to the open access rule ? for example, if ISPs are required to block access to a site by court order (as has happened with The Pirate Bay). ThrottledISPs are also not stopped from bringing in data caps for heavy users, and are allowed to offer parental blocks to restrict access to X-rated web content. If any ISP involved is found to have breached the code, it will face the Broadband Stakeholders Group (BSG), made up of Ofcom, other ISPs and media companies. Conspicuous in their absence from the list of voluntary signers are Virgin Media, Everything Eve
