Why is my internet provider blocking some websites?
Some Internet Service Providers have parental controls that can be enabled and disabled through your online account. If these are disabled and the website you are trying to access is still blocked then the site is likely blocked throughout the UK due to a High Court order or copyright claim. If that is the case you will not be able to access the site through a UK IP address.
