Site Blocked
11 Answers
Please can you explain the following:-
When I try to access some websites, I receive this message:-
"Access to this website has been blocked
Blocking access to xxxxxxxxx website has been made pursuant to a Court Order dated 14 November 2014 obtained by the members of the Motion Picture Association (MPA).
www.mpaa.org
Any TalkTalk customer affected by the Court Order has a right under the Court Order to apply to vary or discharge it. Any such application must:
(i) clearly indicate the identity and status of the applicant;
(ii) be supported by evidence setting out and justifying the grounds of the application; and
(iii) be made on 10 days notice to all of the parties to the Court Order."
I understand why the site itself may be blocked, but my question is I am not a TalkTalk customer, so why is "TalkTalk" included in the text and not my own ISP?

The reason that TalkTalk is mentioned in the message text is that your ISP uses TalkTalk equipment in the exchange.

I'm bound to warn you that the technicalities of the system will lead to some considerable head scratching unless you've got a reasonable knowledge of telecommunications.
However, here's another way of looking at it. There are hundreds if not thousands of ISP's in the UK alone. Now each time you sign up to an ISP, they will tell you about the need to modify or add their own equipment to your local exchange. Just stop and think about that for a moment. How would BT cope with hundreds or thousands of ISP engineers knocking the door of your local exchange with their own box of gubbins? They would neither allow it or cope with it as they couldn't get on with their own work. There are also the security aspect to consider.
So what happens? All equipment in the exchanges belongs to either BT or one of around half a dozen major internet providers. These include SKY, Talktalk, EE etc. You are getting the message Dusty Bin because your ISP rents out TalkTalk equipment at the exchange and is routed via ISP servers. Simples!

last sentence should have said:
"And is routed via TalkTalk servers".
TalkTalk can put any message they like on your computer screen as long as your own ISP uses their equipment. In most cases, BT even provide these major internet providers with the key to door of all UK exchanges as the ISP engineers have the experience and expertise to be trusted to install and modify switchgear contained therein.
