All of those sites should recognise the IP you're posting from as a UK one. Can you reply to this thread with the information: https://community.plus.net/t5/Plusnet-Feedback/IP-addresses-not-UK-Can-customers-please-report-any-p...

What issue are you having with search? National Lottery should have been sorted a while back after they introduced further geo-location checks, and I've never known there to be any issues with the BBC. Can you elaborate?

The reason you see the ISP difference is Plusnet will have purchased a batch of IP addresses from the said company hence the ISP name difference
