I have had the subscription for 9 months now and it is fantastic. You can also take the box to and from the UK and use it there too! Reprogramming a MAG set top box is really easy so if you are with one of the rip off providers you can easily get a 24 hour trial to compare the service!!!

Do you have to use a VPN for their service?

Following the recent posts on this subject, I took out a Days subscription to see what was offered and quality.
I use a Mag Box and have an average of 5 mgb download via a SIM card Router.
This was an easy set up by adding their Portal, sending the MAC address and Bingo.
Yes I did get a lot of channels, as described , however, although this is very reasonably priced, I had a lot of buffering on the main Channels plus I did not appreciate the sub titles on ITV.
So, I will stay with my present provider, who I think is in Mumbai and is easily contactable through Skype, if anything goes wrong, plus gives me all the same channels for about double the price.
As for Vpn, I did not use it, but believe if one uses it in the Uk, then this is a necessity.

Hi DVBRO

I have had no problems with buffering - we must be in a good signal zone. I did have subtitles on one channel but there is a button on my MAG box remote that allows subtitles to be switched off.

Hi

You need a decent speed to get HD and subtitles can be turned off! No need for a VPN in the UK (don't know where you got that from). I think the service is at least as good, if not better, than any of the providers based in Portugal and the back up from ACE (based in Hull, UK) is excellent! The price is 100% great value compared with all the other provides mentioned on this forum.

I have just clicked on the link for Ace. There is a message in red! Ace sport and premium no longer available from 19th December 2017. Have you lost your connection?

Well MEO are now blocking ACE TV IPTV whenever there is football on TV. ACE recommended that I use a VPN , which I did. It worked for a while but now I think they are also blocking VPNs. Are there any alternative internet providers to MEO that will not block ACE?
