Vodafone restricts access to Cable Forum

Vodafone restricts access to Cable Forum, or it appears so.

At present I'm travelling from Cardiff to London on megabus and have to use a VPN to come here or I get this:-

I assume Megabus use Vodafone as their provider on coach routes.

The next question is, what has Cable Forum done to upset Vodafone? Does the same happen on Vodafone mobile devices?

Vodafone's home broadband currently has issues with the content control. Keeps turning itself off or on. Router restart seems to help though.

I can still access the forum on my vodafone mobile and tablet, also on the home broadband service.

However I assume they are using a mobile broadband product. So probably have their controls set to strict.

It's only recently it's happened, in fact the first time and I've travelled by Megabus for the last 10yrs at least.

As said I just used my VPN to access so no problem.

I thought the owner/admin should be aware and could take action if they so wish.

I will add I was using my laptop not my mobile phone for connection.

They might not be aware. Also as it is used as public access it could be restricted deliberately but set to block certain types of site.

May just be affected by the issue I mentioned.

I am with Vodafone and can access the site no problem on my phone
