the /b/T block...is this truth?

There was a post on /b/ last night about the UK ISP BT blocking /b/ - which scarily enough does seem to be true. Clicking /b/ from the sidemenu results in a 404. Yet typing the link without /imgboard.html?/ at the end works fine.

Anyone know if this shit is REALLY true? Can I get partyvanned in the UK for entering /b/?

Can't be BT- I'm .uk but I have ntl, and I can't get in through the sidemenu.

Also, all my internets to the OP for that trick. You're a sick, deranged saint.
