Yup been with sky about the same 15 years, had enough of blocks and seem to be throttling, they block my provider also.
So gonna try it 2 years seems long time if they work out worse but of all the providers I feel these are the best to try.

cheers guys cant get Virgin where i am, unfortunately, might just bite the bullet go BT
The messing flicking through different VPN's and changing the supplier farting around on footy weekdays is doing my head in, know few on BT with my main supplier and alls good.
Might as well try BT and one provider and no VPN, will save me money, keep the one VPN, ditch Nord rip off.
Yup, i understand no guarantee of future blocks, but for the extra costs of VPN's ( i have 3) and extra providers ( ones that work with sky and ones that doesn't) costing fortune.

Shell is powered by bt/open reach so is SSE
I went from Sky to Plusnet, BT, back to Sky. Very similar speeds with each, had iptv blocks with BT and Sky (other isp's were before the court orders to block EPL.) I'd say if you change to BT set the vpn (nord is fine) to start automatically when all illegal streaming is done then you'll never flag up as an end user and hopefully they'll leave you alone. I've had problems with Sky at football kick off times that were solved instantly by swith to an EE WiFi hotspot.
@bazcfc1 what was wrong with Now broadband? Looked at them recently as they do 12 month contracts or even monthly if you pay setup costs.

Basically mate speeds are fine was getting 35mbps hard wired and around 30 mbps on WiFi no soon as my lad would start, downloading say a 14gig game our speed downstairs would zap to 1 maybe 2mbps.
All they said was will raise it with network and do your downloading through the night which was a joke so now signed back upto ee
My EE has only got a couple of month left on contract, then will be going to virgin as they have just put it in our area, got to say EE have been rock solid i have never had to get in touch with them at all vpn works a treat.
Had plus net before they were good but they really don't like you to use a vpn at all. I ended up putting their router into modem mode and using an old asus router.

Only worth changing if you can get full fibre. Otherwise a VPN will cure any attempt of blocking IPTV.

Those on the bay and other places at those prices are usually hacked accounts.
Which worth getting if you get warranty with it as prices for these accounts are so much lesser than legit accounts.
