How do the alternative domains fare in the UK? With https://sci-hub.st/ I can circumvent the ISP block in Sweden successfully.

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
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)
