http://golibgen.io/ works.

The UK's asinine policy in regards to the internet is why I no longer use any connection that terminate in the UK.


Or use http://aa.net.uk which does not have filtering at all and has native IPv6, is run by people who care for their craft.

I've been a very happy customer.


They unfortunately have datacaps and don't offer fiber only openreach FTTC style connections at best and at about 3 times what I pay for 1gbit up/down in London ATM.


What do you mean by "they don't offer fiber"? At first I thought you meant they don't offer FTTP but I checked their website and they do.


That's not fiber, that's Openreach VDSL (BT Infinitniy) over coper which only supports 70-80MB down and about 20-30MB down.

London and some other parts of the UK have FTTH now, and it's cheap I am paying 30GBP for a 1 gig symetric connection via hyperoptic.

Fiber to the curb is not fiber, anything below 300MBit should not even be considered broadband at this day and age tbh.


Does straight IP work? http://93.174.95.27


No.

Yes!!


In Germany ibgen.org redirects to http://gestao.ibgen.com.br/aluno/ and libgen.in is just displaying a parked domin site. Or are those outdated domains?
