IT Queries: Computer problems answered

I’m trying to log into an overseas television network’s website. It contains a lot of colour and graphics and thus takes a while to fully load up.

Problem is I can’t seem to access this site at home. I can do so at Uni and my friends can successfully log into it. Could it be a problem with my ISP?

It could be in that your ISPs network isn’t set up as well as your university’s or your home connection has a problem. 

However it’s more likely that the overseas site is blocking foreign access due to licensing restriction and they don’t realise your uni address is an overseas connection.

Before complaining to your ISP you may want to ask some of your friends or relatives to try accessing the site to see if they have a similar problem.

If you are being blocked, you may want to explore using proxy servers to get around the problem.
