I dont know why people think a VPN wont work, its only people with UK ip addresses that are being blocked, I'm in ROI and I'm not being blocked and I know plenty of other people in Ireland all with different suppliers from the UK and none have had any problems with last weeks PL matches, a VPN can give you a IP address so that it looks like your in a different country.
The process of blocking content for an ISP is very simple. After all, any content that is coming from a website to your computer has to travel through the ISP, giving it ample opportunity to block the content. A vpn will bypass your isp and route the content through another isp in a different country who is not bound by the law in the UK .
