    Anyone else out there that has tried to log onto betting websites this morning with BBNet broadband. OH tried logging onto Boylesports and came up as "gambling site; blocked." I then tried other betting websites, all blocked. Then tried La Senza lingerie "blocked" was classed as "nudity pornography". Feels as though we are living in Iran? Telephoned provider and they said they have received some calls about it also, have they been hacked? :(

    thanks for update, haven't rang them myself but glad they haven't done this, thought it might be something to do with that SOPA law, don't fully understand it - hope they get this sorted soon
