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?

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.
