Not ideal though is it for a lot of people it will slow their speeds down to a crawl...So maybe a "BIG DEAL" to some. Especially when renewing their isp with the view that they would need one
A lot of provider's have a VPN built-in to the apps ask your guy if they have one available .Not ideal though is it for a lot of people it will slow their speeds down to a crawl...So maybe a "BIG DEAL" to some. Especially when renewing their isp with the view that they would need one

Not an issue for me mate and nothing while events off...just a heads up. A lot were suffering last prem day and all were on BT, and as I mentioned they use to be an option without VPN

I know a lot of people who has bt and not blocked at all bud every isp I’ve been with has never blocked most people are disabling ipv6 as that can also cause issues.
Have you been blocked yourself
The biggest problem is people don't look around. For most premireship games it's on 5 or 6 channels.
It would be very unlikely all channels would have a issue

Feel bad for you if your a LFC fan and it affected that enjoyment of 7-0 ..if a United fan then u had a lucky escape 🤣🤣
Not really. He could just tell you to use a VPN. Or supply with a app with built in VPN. They will supply a solution uou may have to pay.it is getting ridiculous now expectations on suppliers I think.
All the channels
VOD
Catchup
Some 4k
Expect it not to get blocked or don't want to use a vpn.
And yet people want to pay peanuts. You are saving enough on a sub a chap sells VPNs for surfshark for £5 or something in the for sale section

No blocks today that I know of and know quite a few people on BT that have had no issues today.
I agree with a lot of your points, but I don't think any supplier would be happy to allow blocks and just use a built in vpn etc
The best servers will look for ways around it and end users should use a vpn until that fix is made
But 100% agree with expectations of everything needs to be perfect and no downtime allowed. Suppliers are human too👌

Yes they defiantly are... Just get a vpn is the solution, but as I mentioned if you are already on the limit for speed/bandwidth then it will be a struggle with a vpn active.
But hey ho that's the beauty of the beast.
My post was also to do with why people choose BT, (which seems to have been missed) Was a lot of people looking to change or renew their isp, would've looked to BT because they were less block active.
Now it's known then it will make a difference to who you choose.
People were prepared to pay more for BT perhaps as they didn't ick but now would put that extra to a decent vpn.
Vulture is rubbish by the way 🤣🤣
