Works from western US just fine.

Have you considered using a proxy server?  Some may frown on it, but 
that's how I've had to access some blocked sites, such as the Olympics 
reporting on the Beeb. (Just find a UK anonymous proxy and you're good).

There are lists of proxies on the net that are continuously updated.
