They are certainly blocking some networks. I have a report from a guy
in Venezuela which cannot access the site when connected via CANTV, but
can access it readily when using a different provider whose name escapes

I am no longer blocked, but my IP address may have changed in the
interim (my provider has several very different blocks, not sure why).
