https://sci-hub.st does not work in the UK [edit: on Sky].

Works on BT broadband

Virgin says no.

Interestingly I get this:

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to sci-hub.st. SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.

Error code: SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG

Yeah, that's how Virgin implement their blocking

I know by memory that is what I get when an HTTP server responsd to an HTTPS/SSL request :)

Works on Zen.

Both .se and .st work for me on A&A (DSL) and on Three (Mobile)

Works fine here, on EE network in the UK.

I'm UK based and can't hit it on home wifi

Works for me on Plusnet in the UK, thanks!

Interestingly it works on HTTPS but with HTTP you get a block page referencing the court order (confirmed by a friend on Plusnet)

Same here, I hadn't tried HTTP. I wonder if this is Plusnet conforming to the letter of the law in quiet defiance? Of course, it could just be an error on their part...
