Black VPN...some questions

    Some questions:

    Does it work well with the eircom modem?
    I've heard that some people have found that certain isp's or modems block sites like tvcatchup.co.uk etc.

    Does it work well for streaming tv sites over 3G and wifi ?
    Is it stuttery?

    Does anyone have any codes?:)

    Thank you to anyone who takes the time to answer.

    I am on BT so don't know about Eircom, but I find it great.
    Using for Hulu for U.S.A. TV and iPlayer from BBC and it does the job nicely on a wireless N network to an iPad and Laptop.

    My code (YCFVUUC) should get 3 months for 1 i.e. 3 months for €10 for the international pack

    I have been using BlackVPN for the past 3 months. I just renewed my account today. It works perfect for me on both the UK & USA servers. I watch BBC Iplayer, ITV Player, Hulu tv, etc.
    I also have the VPN on my Iphone to listen to football matches or sports events on BBC 5 live which are normally blocked due to rights restrictions.
    I will say that the It can be a little stuttery at times but thats when im on wifi. When I use my desktop which is hardwired its perfect.
    Hope this helps you out.

    Here is my referral code & get 2 months FREE : KPQWTYT :D

    It works well for me. The only issue I have is with BBC iplayer on the ipad, which does freeze occasionaly. If you have Plex installed on your ipad, turn on Black VPN on your Mac and ipad and you can use the Hulu plugin through Plex on your ipad.

    BTW, I put my code up once in a post a few months back and unbelieveably got over 6 months free on both the US and UK VPN.:)

    I had blackvpn but found it very slow, im using strongvpn at the moment the 55 dollar package for uk and us. ITs pretty fast so far touch wood. I use it for watching hulu it never really lags. Havent tried downloading anything big on it yet though. Is there any other good vpn providers that a reliable?

    I used a referral code I got here for BlackVPN. When my first three months is up, can I just sign up with a new referral code?

    How long do they take to set up an account? Signed up yesterday lunchtime and haven't heard anything back.
