Internet thinks I'm in a different country

Everytime I want to watch a video on youtube (among other video websites) or even the bbc website I get messages saying the video is not available in my region. That would make sense if they weren't but I know for a fact bbc videos are supposed to be available to people in its own country. Even when I go on imdb and click on an upcoming film it gives me a release date for sweden.

Please, anybody know how to fix this problem?

Your ISP has full blown AIDS.

This may be your problem.

Use a proxy server that is UK based.

Sounds like a problem with your ISP.
That, or you have some crazy spyware or something.

I know how to change it, I just can't find a code that works.

Ah I see. From what I heard, the UK is pretty up tight about their stuff being leaked. Its hard to find a good working UK proxy. I'm sure you'll find one though.

Nah, can't find a single free one. Stingy bastards. Might as well settle for a US one I guess.
