Is there a way for the supplier at their end to put a vpn on so they dont know what server its coming from and are the blocks just a uk /irish issue or is it europe wide

Good question.
The VPN my end definitely isnt helping


What device are you using and is it wifi or ethernet as my internet wouldnt be fast but i have a formulerz8 in 1 room and a firestick with an ethernet adapter in the oyher and i have no buffering at all

I definitely recommend getting an ethernet adapter and wiring it that should solve your problems and clear your cache etc and close any background apps as the firestick is a f**ker for running loads of apps in the background slows everything down theres an app background application you can get on amazon it will show you the apps open in the background and you can force close them with that

aye but you need one of the newer versions of firestick. I think the one that supports voice remote.

Bought one of those adaptors and it didn't work as mines was years old

Es File Explorer is a good way to clean up the Firestick
Careful now

At one time I'd have agreed that wired connection was desirable but the Firestick eventually won me over. I'd be surprised if WiFi is the source of your buffering especially if it's a new problem??

Its really the vpn slowing down the wifi speed so the only way to have a consistent speed is ethernet as you need a vpn due to the 3pm blocks . But there is so many variables who knows all you can do is go step by step and try find the problem

I dont believe so. They will see the spike vpn or not, they send a letter to the server data centre telling them they've seen a spike and suspect piracy and they somehow then block it.

Ah i see so  its basically a game of cat and mouse at least all the bigger vpns swap out there servers for that reason

Itchy

As I said here before, if your supplier is openly advertising on FB or elsewhere run a mile

Dar31

As its only a matter of time before there spotted ?but its a catch 22  they need customers and you need a provider so they need to get business somewhere
