Ok, three post newbie Plusnet fan.

With luck the OP isn't actually bothered by the BT blocks, just doesn't like the principle.

Ok. But for that reason are you advising people not to join any of the other ISPs subject to the copyright court orders? Namely TalkTalk, Sky and Virgin Media? Kind of narrowing the choice a bit there.

That's a few less than you as a BT fan/Plusnet denigrator .

Can you find any other sites inaccessible through Plusnet? The reason for that, and why the OP could access it sometimes but not always having been explained in the thread I linked to.

Well not so much a BT fan, it just it seems a little unfair to criticise the major ISPs for obeying the law.

And I sometimes suspect three post newbies who suddenly sign up and extol the virtues of an ISP to be existing TBB members wanting to appear to be someone new. But then I am a bit cynical like that.

I haven't look TBH. I'm only aware of TPB, and I'm not on Plusnet.

You have a good point about those others. (You missed EE). Strange that the question doesn't arise. (Genuine puzzlement).

However, in this thread I wasn't advising the OP against BT. He asked a specific question and I answered it. You presented a distorted view of his current ISP.

I didn't. Did anyone?

[Shrug]. I wouldn't know. Certainly I haven't coined any deceiving nicks.

Isn't that blocked in Sweden, or at least it's host country?

No. It's blocked locally by Plusnet.

But only blocked by DNS it seems.
As I posted on another thread, it can be reached perfectly well by using the IP address.

Despite the Court Order, EE are not blocking Warez BB but are blocking TPB. Maybe it's just a matter of time and the same could go for PN.

I would have thought that the Court Order covered the whole of BT, incl. PN.

This was debated for ages the last time there was a big hoohah about court orders. In the end Plusnet reps specifically stated the earlier BT Court Order did not apply to Plusnet.

No sites other than TPB, and that only occasionally, are blocked on Plusnet as a result of that, or almost certainly this, Court Order(s).

As I cannot prove a negative, I'll leave it to you to find one that is a subject of the two and is blocked by PN.
