Others have already posted, but the biggest domestic British ISPs block a variety of things, like SciHub, Libgen, Pirate Bay, or Anna's Archive. Coverage varies a lot though, so I assume ISPs have some discretion and enforcement is patchy.

This isn't the case for me with Anna's Archive or Sci-Hub. I use the biggest ISP, and both are fully accessible.

Implementation of this stuff must be very patchy then as both are off on my top 5 provider until I use a VPN. Which makes me wonder why any of the ISPs bother blocking at all, if they can just pick and choose?

I've just seen there is a court order against the .org site, going back to 2024. So presumably some ISPs are more proactive about extending the ban to backup domains.

I'm assuming BT? If so then their blocking is DNS based and if you are not using their DNS then they will block these sites
