Contact Riverside on here for his IPTV app if you have an android phone or firestick. All the city games, all Sky sport and TV inc Box Office events, BT, Bein and much more including all the films and box sets you could ever want, superb quality and no buffering. Up and running in minutes, lots on here have it and he's also a very good guy.
:ayatollah:


Don't tell him about IPTV... First problem he has with one of the footie streams he'll be straight on the phone to Sky Sports to complain about their service :laughing5:

You say you are/were in hospital - were you using the hospital wifi??

Hospital wifi is notoriously crud, provided usually by an outside service who charge shedloads for a severely mediocre service. That service will hugely degrade when you put a VPN over the top to boot, simply due to the system overheads involved in VPNing to anything such as a live footie stream.

If you were trying via your own phone internet, then perhaps they throttle the heck out of VPN'd connections.

Dont forget any VPN, involves data up to VPN, data from VPN to footie stream, footie stream back to VPN, VPN to your device via whatever links are needed inbetween.

To be honest, I've watched the city all over the place in the back of the van via my phone or random wifi feeds I find - some are good, others stutter like nothing on earth, some have stutters on stutters. Its just part and parcel of how it is if you're watching the city on anything other than a genuine matchday Sky broadcast or stream. Even they can hiccup every now and then.

It is the nature of the streaming/connected world we live in - everyone wants a piece of that cable or airwave that the stuff is coming across... and its usually the bloke who's paying the most that gets the bestest connection.


Cheers for the sensible reply mate. I am using the hospital wifi but it's always quite fast with zero problems. What pissed me off and pointed to the problem being theirs on not mine, was the fact that it worked perfectly for 5 minutes then cut out.


That would usually indicate that your VPN is shit and the site identified ur IP address as a UK one. Did you try switching up VPNs, clearing cache etc or did you immediately blame Tan?

As others have said you are complaining about the fact that you tried to access a stream illegally (and by the sounds of it not done that very well) so not sure what sympathy you're hoping for here mate hahah.

I didn't know it was illegal to use a VPN tbf. What makes you think i'm looking for sympathy? Weird thing to say...I'm just alerting others to how our club is treating it's supporters and how Tan has mistreated us since he turned us red. The club had no idea that i'd used an illegal stream. They ignored my complaint because they had already taken my money, which is clearly all they care about under Vincent Tan.



You really are not getting the point are you? The streaming of game as got nothing to do with club so any problems you direct it to the provider but dont forget to tell them you were using vpn to watch game.? You simply want to blame tan and using this excuse to to do so....
Why are you not blaming the people who provided the stream or the dodgy vpn provider? They're the ones you need to complain to not the club... if you feel that strongly I suggest you ring club and explain what you did and ask for a refund.. that way you'll know who's right. Anyway it's gone now lesson learned.

No problem here in China with the stream, tbh I also use a vpn to ensure there is no interuption, there was no problem with that, either. I reckon there is something wrong with your vpn
