As a BT customer I would like to know if BT has point of view to make it harder for it's customers to view other companies home pages ???

I have found that in the past that some internet ( Broadband ) companies do have blocks on different sites then others and this leads me to say that I see that step to slowly move to blocking or just block on odd days to keep a control over customers is not hard to see as it could become a fact.

I have tested sites for some international internet companies in the past and I tested modems and hubs for companies.
I am using other broadband companies services into my home to do that now and I notice that for the last few days that BT will not allow me to view my other home pages at many times.

This could be down server changes of other network moves so I can not say 100% that I was blocked but it has gone on for a week now with tries a few times a day and even at late night too.

I would also say traffic has changed in the last few weeks over the networks with speeds and drops in data packets levels and data I have seen, this could be down to many things like weathers, server updates, network repairs and there must be high traffic from windows 10 update and long with normal windows updates we also had updates to many anti virus software's too and extra traffic from Internet TV services too and in the last month too we had update from Kit Kat to lolly pop software.

So I just asking if any others on BT network users found any new blocks ???

No. That would be illegal.
