    If you can't see what you're doing is likely to get @Gally and co in the ****, then crack on. There's being subtle about it and then there's overtly advertising every BFC match for peanuts on here. If the owners do read this then you're putting the admins in an awkward position.

    Admin have plotted a path for us to get the relevant away matches on ifollow at a lesser price. Without subtlety.

    So your post seems to hinge upon the price of peanuts.

    VPN's are totally legal. They are not being overt about what to use it for for obvious reasons... VPN usage still gives the club money that they probably wouldnt otherwise receive. His IPTV gives zero money to the club.

    What this lad is selling is illegal IPTV. 100% certain of it. I've said my piece on it now anyway i'm not going to bother arguing if someone's going to behave like a knob on here selling illegal ****.

    Interesting, because I have been having numerous problems with my BT broadband dropping and then coming back straight away, but not before any vpn or rdp I am using for work has dropped and I have to go through the whole connection process again. I have been wondering if a switch of provider might change it and I thought of Sky, but not sure if it would just be same line, same problem, different name on the bill.

    Not sure, I can only base it on my experience. I work from home, I have for several years and in that time I've used a few providers including BT, Talk Talk and Virgin. I had the a problem with my VPN dropping out a lot with Virgin as well as the router dropping off. Sky has been fantastic so far; great speeds and no service drops at all. I have to say that unless they take the pi55 with price increases I don't think I will switch again.

    OK, thanks. I have never changed provider and am probably getting raped on price apart from everything else. I'm tempted to do it.

    Well as far as BFC are concerned, I'm not sure anyone is going to be too suicidal at the moment if their revenue is compromised.

    You seem to be OK for Ifollow revenues for BFC to be lessened by virtue of info on here supplied by admin, but upset if it means it all disappears.

    I have strayed onto vpn territory, about which I know less than nothing, so forgive me if I'm talking trash.
    A VPN is the means by which you cut the cost of watching your team play.

    If BFC could stop you doing that, they would. You're just circumventing what they've tried to put in place.

    If you want to hide behind the "totally legal" banner, then fair enough.

    You're half way however towards being like "this lad".

    The difference is that you use the fig leaf of "legal".

    If you haven't phoned to ask for it cheaper then you will be over paying guaranteed.

    How exactly is it legal?
    So in other words
    The difference is you don't break the law
    He does.

    Big difference really

    Its quite pain free really. If you're not happy with the service you're getting then I'd recommend a switch.

    Well I'm not sure that pretending you actually live abroad for the purpose of getting ifollow on the cheap is legal.

    Perhaps you could advise.

    It is a breach of the terms and conditions but isn't illegal.

    Well I'm sure that we all live our lives and sleep soundly in our beds by your drawing such fine margins, content that it's only a breach of their terms.

    You're straying, with this one, into the territory that confuses illegal/unlawful. The law does enforce breaches, be they illegal or unlawful.

    What is unarguable is that BFC do not want there to be a means by which it is possible for anyone to pay anything but the proper price for their products.

    You cancel...they get nothing......they offer to lower your price BUT sign a new contract at ,say 10 quid for 18 months, they get 180 + quid. Then end of contract it goes up, you spend a few month paying more....hear a mate saying what they pay...phone them up to cancel...etc

    Using a VPN isn't about getting ifollow on the cheap. It's about getting access to watch a game that is not available for UK users.

    I'm no expert.

    I presume that you have to subscribe to ifollow to be afforded the ability to watch these matches?

    Thereafter do you not get to watch these matches on the cheap?

    When people pay the match price to watch a game, they have to use a VPN so as to be even offered the chance, because if it's on a Saturday, you're not allowed to stream it in the UK.

    So use a VPN, and club gets some money for the person paying to watch the game. Or don't use a VPN and club gets nothing cos person is not allowed to watch the game.

    As I said earlier I have no issues with illegal streams etc, would be a hypocrite if I did.. my issue was with risking getting the board into the **** with advertising illegal IPTV thats all.
