ISP that doesn't block IPTV?

[kingtj]

Hi, currently with virgin media but looking at switching to a faster provider (better offer)
But at the moment everything works fine.
So after a ISP that doesn't block IPTV.
I don't have to currently use a VPN & don't want to start using one to watch IPTV.

Thanks

Telling us what options ISP wise you have might help with your question mate.

OK, thanks for that.
Can get Vodafone, Sky, Toob, 4th Utility and maybe some others using City Fibre.
But mainly the ones I mentioned.

Also can get Rise Utility 1000mb for £18

I am with Voda CF and they don’t currently block anything for me.

I will move to Rise when my contract is up if I can’t find cheaper.
I don’t mind having to use a VPN tbh.
If you do have CityFibre do an install just keep an eye on them because they drilled through one of my CCTV ethernet cables.
I did get well compensated for it though.

Better Internet Dashboard.


I alwYs check here but looks like you know what's what . Obviously price then speed is my preference, VM shit on us up here and would block too, YouFibre been great and no blocks.

I've just changed Internet provider and now having issues. I never thought about it affecting my stick i just saw that they offer better speeds around me. I've managed to turn shield off but can't download certain things.

Ime going to plug my old router in tomorrow and see if it works on that.

I guess it’s down to what you actually access and what’s going to be blocked.
Sky has a vested interest in blocking their own content accessed by third-party means.

 

[kingtj]

Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking.

I should add that I never used the BT or Sky's routers. I have Asus router running Merlin firmware.
