How can I check if my ISP will block Mullvad? (lemmy.ml)

I'm thinking of paying for Mullvad, but I don't want to waste my money if I won't be able to use it. My ISP blocks Tor (at least that is the conclusion I have come to - I can only connect via a bridge). Is there anything I can do to make sure I will be able to use Mullvad before I end up paying for it?

Man that sounds like some nanny state shit. Wouldn't the ISP want you want a VPN so it doesn't have to worry about figuring out what you're doing in case of demands from potentially illegal activities?

Not in the U.S., but my last ISP had a line in the contract that allowed them to sell my browsing info to advertisers.
