Works on Zen.
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

I know by memory that is what I get when an HTTP server responsd to an HTTPS/SSL request :)
Yeah, that's how Virgin implement their blocking
