Adlington Trotter Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Virgin are being a massive pain in the arse with VPNs. Fucking them off in new year when my contract is up. Does anyone know of any other broadband providers being similarly arsey about VPNs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DazBob Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 I'm on Virgin and had the same issues a few weeks ago with it going to shit whenever live football was on. Provider has since done away with IPTV Smarters app and used a new one and it's absolutely fine. No need for a VPN or owt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could watch the England game last night, only on SD and with a small amount of buffering. Which is better than I thought I would get. Probably off to BT when the contract is up with Virgin.

Moderators Zico Posted November 24, 2020 Moderators Share Posted November 24, 2020 seen that it's a CL night tonight that means Virgin will probably throttle the arse of anyone trying to stream IPTV so me and my mates had an idea get the match stream going on laptop, then set up a google meeting, invite your mates, then screen share tested this earlier on IPTV and it works so, will start off sharing my screen on IPTV web player, and if it gets throttled, will buy a pass and my mates watch for free either way (they don't have IPTV) next time, one of the others buys the pass and so on if, like me, you're a tight cunt, this could be a revelation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Zico Posted November 25, 2020 Moderators Share Posted November 25, 2020 no throttling issues with Virgin last night, so IPTV was fine set up a google meeting and shared screen with mates worked a treat though for some reason, soon as I shared, my audio went off, but mates could hear ok a work in progress might have a whatapp group call at same time next time so we can shit as well as watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
