I have had several issues that appeared whilst running a Tor network.
This has happened to me too even though I switched mine (relay) off several weeks ago…
I have notified BBC (via supplied contact forms 3 times) and have had no resolve
Other services affected have been nhs.uk & lovefilm.com although since switching my relay off these now work again.

My supplier is Virgin Media and I have spent *hours* on tech help support.
Nobody can answer this.
My dynamic WAN IP (assigned via DHCP) never changes and I’ve been told it "can’t & won’t ever change…”.
It’s been the same IP address for years...
Therefore if anybody wants to monitor or divert my traffic they can.

Who provides your service?

Thanks,
Paul
