ISPs hate you.
Asked directly at the same forum whether TalkTalk would be willing to cut off access completely to BBC iPlayer in favour of YouTube if the latter was prepared to sign a big enough cheque, TalkTalk’s Andrew Heaney replied: “We’d do a deal, and we’d look at YouTube and we’d look at BBC and we should have freedom to sign whatever deal works.”
Yes, ISPs actually are threatening to cut off access to internet sites if paid enough by their competitors.
Of course, we could try routing traffic through countries with freedom of speech, but that would involve not being blocked at the source.
