Comcast Adds Parental Control Feature Designed to Limit Children's Time Online

A new Comcast parental control feature announced Tuesday automatically pauses network connectivity in the home to all of a child’s devices once that child's daily time limit is reached. The feature, accessible from the main xFi page, lets parents set a specific amount of time their children can be online each day; separate limits can be set for weekdays and weekends, it said. Comcast cited a Common Sense Media study saying 68 percent of parents feel their teenagers spend too much time using mobile devices.
