Yes, access was OK the next day and is OK now. I guess one of the non-redundant links from Thailand to the UK was down and Tor enabled me to get around it. I did try many times to get through without Tor and alternated between using Tor and not using it, and I could get through only by using Tor.
Having said that, there was another site in the UK that I couldn't access yesterday and had to use Tor. It's a pretty poor ISP service that doesn't switch to alternate routes when one link goes down. You'd have thought it was automatic.
TiT.
