Would be useful if posters put some more info when they have (or even dont have) problems.

Device/App/DNS etc

Thanks

I can't get on for the Celtic match, got a message on screen saying slow data??? Never had a problem before via my ipad, apart from last weeks dns issues.

Gutted, glad I'm paying monthly just in case it all goes tits up?,

So it's not my new ios7 update causing the slow performance then

Using a Macbook Pro (late 2007), Chrome, Smart DNS, 60MB fibre broadband.

Slow to login at first, but been in HD for the Ajax/Barca game. It's dipped to low quality momentarily but that's usual for HD over wireless on this laptop. I'd use my usual HTPC setup downstairs but the mrs has monopolised the TV.

today streams were totally unsuitable.. I couldn't watch more than 5 minutes of the game before getting a freeze/bad quality drop and the rewind trick did not work.

I subbed to ajs back in july and this was the worst night by far for me. tried with overplay first and then hola but got the same results.

I watch the streams from my gaming desktop with a 10 mb line so the problem was most certainly not on my end.

To be honest ajs doesn't seem like a viable option anymore it's so hit and miss. Every bloody weekend it'll be a gamble if you can watch a Pl game

its sad but its the pubs to blame as that is why the PL is after the feed

We'll have to agree to disagree on that one. I don't think the average Man U or Chelsea fan, who can't watch a 3PM game of their team on TV, is going to see Doncaster or Blackburn. In pretty much every country, there are no restrictions on games (of any sport) being broadcast. Germany (imo) the country that's closest to us in terms of quality Stadia has booming attendances (albeit their tickets are relatively low in price.)

They are very protective of their 3pm KOs. Clubs want to fill stadiums. There is nothing worse than seeing a ground on TV whereby it's only half fall. If people want to see their team play, then a lot of the time they have to pay a premium (eg go to the games).”

I know the PL don't offer that type of package... That's why we're having this conversation, but I believe it will happen one day. It is an archaic way of thinking. No other major sport or country operates in this way.

But at this price people would still seek alternatives.

The NFL Sunday ticket is $225 - $300 but that is OUT OF MARKET games (http://www.directv.com/sports/nfl)”

I can't see people paying £500 for a full season. That would be too much of a cost for the average household. Just because you're offering more games, it doesn't mean the cost can go up proportionally.

I got geoblocked during half time.

It looks like the Sky/UEFA/ the Premier League has won, well done.

I will have to go back to the pirate sites,

The annoying thing is I can get all the EPL matches I want in HD at high bitrate from private football sites, I only signed up to AJ as the team I support (Sheffield Wednesday) are rarely shown anywhere and AJ allowed me (in theory) to watch the handful of our games covered live.

Which DNS service were you using?

Overplay.

They had me switch to some new servers last week. They were soon blocked for PL games. Worked okay last night until half time.

I really can't be bothered with this game of cat and mouse. I would rather go back to the pirate sites. Their loss not mine.

I used smart DNS on my Iphone with overplay, all worked well froze once about 20 mins into the game and had no problems after that, I was using IOS 7

Whilst not definitive - yesterday evening saw iOS 7 being released in what was probably the worlds biggest simulatenous software download. It's been reported that ISP's were having trouble coping - so may have been a factor. Pure speculation but will be interesting to see if things recover for the weekend.

(This is for those that havent been geoblocked)
