vegas-voss Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I?m on about 50mb but it?s unwatchable through Ace but flawless on mania whether that?s on my box or through my phone or tablet with matrix. I assume you?ve tried switching the servers of the vpn? Different people seem to get different things Ace works great for me with Ipvanish can't compare it with Mania though as that has been ****ed for newcomers since I first tried to join about 8 weeks ago now.

Rudolf's Mate Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 There was a post on Ace's Twitter from their admin specifically asking for IPVanish users to comment. Loads saying they were having issues and others saying there's was fine. Loads saying that they were using free VPN's and it was spot on. I changed my address from Germany to Ireland and bizarrely it worked perfectly after that. Bit torn tbh. I'd tried the full package with Ace and was really impressed. I haven't even really been bothered with the football but I've tried it nonetheless and the fact I was getting issues pissed me off. I'm glad I tried the full package though as it's reminded me just how much pish is on non footy Sky channels and even for pennies I'm not arsed about it.

Pennywise Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Is it possible for your internet provider to cut you off if they somehow notice you are streaming? My wife was at home today and using kodi. She said it was buffering a bit so tried changing the vpn, she says it said loading then just stopped. Internet not working at all. I've been on the phone to TalkTalk & they said they would send an engineer out in a few days Can they see if I'm doing shit I shouldn't? Then decide to stop supplying my internet?

The only problem with this sometimes is that it can reset your settings on the hub and turn your Smart Shield back on, thus blocking some content on Kodi etc. I've done it a few times when the internet is sticking two fingers up to me and it's always worked.

Do Talktalk want you giving sky a hundred quid a month or do they want you relying on their service instead?

That said if it's on your router, regardless of internet connection you should still be able to login and see if it's turned on. If you can't login to your router then likely it's that that's faulty.
