urlchecker.o2.co.uk

Got blocked trying to access my companies website, last night using a laptop in a pub and their 02 broadband they were offering. Found urlchecker.o2.co.uk this morning and my companies website is categorised as 'Pornography' !!!!!!?? It's a football fans website and app!!?

Tried calling o2 who had not idea, could not help and had to be done by the pub!? I tried explaining it's not the blocl but the cause of the block which is their urlchecker category of **bleep**. But no had to end call with no further help.

Really useless service and so pleased I switch my phone to Three. Still have broadband but at this right will cancel when I can.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Thanks for that. There is a link to check the url but it just says we'll look into it but does not ask what your website is and who I am etc..?! It's listing our website as Pornography. We have NO pornography on our website. It's a football website!!!! O2 when you call say they can't help but it's their website showing the wrong category.. head/wall/banging.
