Anyone use this last year? The price is cheaper than cable for a month so with no cable, this is my only missing element. How is it in a local market such as Buffalo? If they are home, can you still watch them or do they get blacked out? Curious if this is a good alternative of have cable companies blocked using this in markets where there is a team already and more for people who live outside where their favorite team plays? ---

AFAIK the local teams are blacked out. Center Ice does for sure, even if they’re away. I even had some Caps games blacked out when I had it. ---

Local games are blacked out. You can buy a cheap VPN account and get around the local blackouts though. ---

I ran my own VPN company for a while which launched my own tunnel with guaranteed bandwidth but just for streaming services so probably will spin up some machines for tunnels for this then. I wanted to confirm they use IP so if you are out of the area, you can still access it and wasn’t tied to something stupid like billing address. ---

I wanted to confirm they use IP so if you are out of the area, you can still access it and wasn’t tied to something stupid like billing address. When I had it my billing address was Williamsville. Blocked when not using VPN, worked fine when using VPN. They definitely use IP location. Verified by picking a Chicago VPN server and getting the local block error trying to watch a Blackhawks home game. As for SwitchVPN vs some other one, do some research. I did this 3 years ago and SwitchVPN was a good cheap option then. I wouldn’t doubt there is more competition now. ---

720p usually is about 2Megabits per second. Go to YouTube and steam 720p videos and see how it functions. You also need to make sure you have a VPN that supports the speeds. I am actually working on building a VPN provider for this purpose.
