Agree,

Your upload wont be over 8mbit like in your speedtest result it is impossible as it is still limited by your VM account.

Sorry, the web page you have requested is not available through Virgin Media.
Virgin Media has received an order from the Courts requiring us to prevent access to this site in order to help protect against copyright infringement, because the Music, Film and TV industries still think we are in the 1970's, which is why they are not bothering their arses to move into the 21st century like the rest of us.
ps.. Welcome to China
That is what the statement on the blocked page should say. This is not Virgins fault, they have to comply with the law.
The best way around the block is to [Mod edit: Do not post links in breach of our terms of use to sites which allow the block to be circumvented]

[/COLOR]Now the Govt wants us all to have to ask for porn on the internet. Before long, if you want internet, you are going to have to fill out a questionnaire asking you what type of content you would be looking for, so the ISP can tailor your access to suit.

most likely its done like the IWF is managed.
the tbp ip entered into routing table to route to proxy server which then serves the page.
meaning not everything is proxied only whats routed to it.

No need for a VPN, only the web address has been blocked by the court order.
Just search for 'uk pirate party' in a popular search engine and you'll soon discover the mirror address which isn't blocked

a VPN is defenitly overkill, to set one up is significantly more complex than setting up a basic socks proxy which achieves the same thing. Also socks can be used more flexibly on/off for certian things rather than just rerouting everything through a VPN.

Why is anyone even bothering.? We all know now how to get around the block. The real question is why you'd want to go there

While I'm not disagreeing with that, I will add that I found the VPN extremely quick and easy to set up. It can also be turned on/off with a simple connect/disconnect button.
Cheers

Many VPNs use compression.

Or just an ordinary HTTP proxy.
(Wonder if it works through VM's own web proxy? That would be ironic :P)
