Who we are and what we do!

“WHEN I STARTED I THOUGHT IT (PORNOGRAPHY) WAS A HARMLESS THING THAT EVERYONE DOES, UNTIL IT STARTED TO AFFECT MY LIFE AND THE WAY I LOOK AT THINGS AROUND ME!”
“THE IMAGES I’VE SEEN WERE CAPTIVATING, LITTLE DID I KNOW AT THE TIME HOW THEY WOULD INFECT MY WHOLE LIFE!”
“WHAT USED TO REPULSE ME BECAME WHAT I SEARCHED FOR!”
“I FOOLED MYSELF INTO THINKING I DIDN’T HAVE A PROBLEM!”

These frank and honest quotes are from men and women who have struggled with and have been set free from an addiction to pornography!
Sneaking a peek from a top shelf magazine is a thing of the past. 25% of daily internet searches are for pornographic related websites. The internet has revolutionised the way we shop, learn and express ourselves, but it has also bought pornography to our homes uninvited and free of charge. Pornography has never been as easy to get hold of as it is today. That also means that it’s easier to develop an addiction to pornography without being caught or found out! This is a problem that Christian Men and Women are struggling with all over the UK!

That’s why Christian Broadband includes the ‘CleanWEB™’ content filter free of charge on all of our broadband internet packages. ‘CleanWeb™’ is a network centric content filter that blocks over a billion nasty images, links and websites. ‘Network centric’ means that we block the things you don’t want to see, at our end of the operation, there’s nothing for you to download and install on your computer, it’s all blocked at the source! Now it’s possible to

• Surf the internet at home with out the temptation of internet pornography
• Allow your children to use the internet without the fear that they will click on anything that they should never have to look at!
• Us a ‘CleanWEB™’ filtered internet connection for your church or small business, safe in the knowledge that your colleges and members of your congregation can’t use the internet to see anything that they shouldn’t!

Christian Broadband is run by Christians and is designed to help churches, churchgoers and faith-based organizations to safely navigate the Internet without having access to unhelpful websites that can so easily distract and people from following the path of Jesus.
Christian Broadband is available for anyone to use but we want to make it available through church bookshops and other retail outlets. If you don’t have a bookshop we’d still like to talk to you about offering Christian Broadband to members of your congregation.

We are confident that you will like our broadband service and that you’ll want to recommend it to your friends, colleagues and your church family.

Our prices are competitive with a 24 Mb Broadband Connection* starting from £9.95, but what price can you put on internet safety!

Our First Step Out Of The Boat!

Despite a few previous toe dipping moments, last week we stepped out of the boat and got our feet wet! Christian Broadband exhibited at the Ministers Fellowship Europe conference at the newly opened Cathedral House in Huddersfield. Myself and Christian Broadband MD Tim Longton are part of the congregation at Huddersfield Christian Fellowship and after joining in with a weekend of incredible events to mark the opening of Cathedral House, we met with hundreds of other like minded Christians from all over the world to worship the Lord, learn more about him and attempt to 'Break Through The Boundaries' as was the theme of the conference!

For CBBL, the MFE conference was our first real opportunity of getting out and letting people know that there is an inexpensive, ethical way to surf the internet, free of guns, drugs, violence, pornography and most of the other unhelpful things
that can so easily distract and tempt people from following the path of Jesus.

We were met with an amazing response. The pastors and church elders that we met with agreed that in particular internet pornography is one area that Christian Men are constantly tempted with and although the accountability software that is widely available can act as a deterrent, it's easy to disable and doesn't actually prevent you from looking at porn on your computer. Our CleanWeb filter blocks over a billion nasty links, images and websites and we work very hard to keep the Clean Web data base constantly updated. It's important to be accountable to another Christian Brother, but it's important to remove the temptations from your life.

It was good to meet new friends, make contacts, pray for and encourage other Christians and to let people know what we do and what we are passionate about.

If you don't have enough faith to step out of the boat, you'll miss out on what God has planned for your life.

Go on, get your feet wet!
God Bless You,
Andie Laidlaw
