Mobile broadband providers 'block The Pirate Bay'
Wednesday 22nd April 2009, by Daniel King
Access to file-sharing portal The Pirate Bay has been blocked by certain mobile broadband providers, it has been claimed.
The site, which provides links to BitTorrents that users can download for free, has recently been in the news due to its founders' copyright violation court case - where they were found guilty.
However, consumers can still reach The Pirate Bay, unless they use mobile broadband from BT, it has been suggested.
ISP Review reported yesterday (April 21st) that users are given a warning message when they try to enter the site.
Those who find their provider is not supplying an adequate package may want to consider switching to a more suitable service.
Most operators on the market offer different price points and download limits, so it might be worth having a think about how much internet use is needed.
T-Mobile recently celebrated an award that it was given for topping a survey on the subject of mobile broadband.
The company came first in nine out of 13 categories, including network coverage and connectivity, in research undertaken by You Gov. Other criteria covered aspects such as value for money, speed, ease of use, reliability and upload times.
It was found to be the most consistent mobile broadband operator on the market and second-best for quality.
