This is a good thing. Filtering of porn, malware and other undesirable content _if that's what the person paying the bill wants_ is a good thing. Asking people to install protection on every device in the home is unrealistic so having the ISP providing an on-network solution is excellent.

Of course, this is only true if the service is available on many networks and opt-in. Otherwise it becomes censorship by stealth which is hopefully not where this is going.

I think it depends on your goals.

I want my ISP to be as close to a dumb pipe as possible.

Currently, I believe it's being pitched as opt-out.
