If you live in the UK and are with one of these internet providers below they will block the IPTV server only when there is a UEFA sau English premier league game which can be weekends and even most weekdays for roughly 2-8 hours in total.

Also when there is box office boxing the IPTV server can be blocked by your internet provider.

• Cer

Now you know why you are getting a blank screen let’s see the 2 easy options to fix this below. There are 2 options you can use ranging from free options to paid options.

1. Use a VPN
2. Change your internet provider

Ok, we will start with the best option and explain the options in detail.

Use A VPN

Change Your Internet Provider

We mentioned before that only 7 of the big UK internet providers block many IPTV servers which are below:

• BT
• Vorbe vorbe
• EE
• Vodaphone

The reason this method will work is none of the smaller internet providers block IPTV servers when the football is on and won’t do so if your broadband contract is running out it’s best to switch to any not mentioned in the list above and IPTV will always work and never get blocked.

Now let us quickly explain all internet providers are the same… Wait how can that be???????

Well, you see apart from Virgin Media which runs their internet through cable which comes from underground all other internet providers use a telephone line.

This means that BT Openreach owns all the telephone systems in the UK so if you were with TalkTalk let’s say and you had an issue with your internet it’s always BT Openreach engineers who come out to fix the issue if the issue is on the telephone line outside your home.

So what this means is every internet provider is just a package they rent the lines from BT Openreach so this means all internet is the same using the same exact lines, so the only difference with the internet providers is the offers they currently offer and the speeds they offer under their package.

So just because you see Shell Energy or One Stream they are the exact same as BT, Sky broadband, EE, and again all internet providers use the same telephone lines rented from BT Openreach.

The only thing that differs between all internet providers is they have different levels of customer service and different offers, that is all.

So the whole point we are getting at is you can join a lesser-known internet provider such as Shell Energy, One Stream, SSE, and others and be perfectly fine knowing they are the same as the premium providers such as EE, BT, and sky broadband.

Heck!! You may even save some money using one of the lesser-known internet providers just be sure to get an internet package from them that suits your speed needs whether you want fiber internet or other speeds.

Ok, we hope the above didn’t go over your head if it did send us an email and we can explain further about how all internet providers are basically the same as all using BT Openreach phone lines to the provider you with your internet.

So they don’t have their own internet data centers that send you internet they just rent this from BT Openreach making all internet providers equal and as good as each other.

Let’s see the last option to resolving your IPTV being blocked which is the free way of fixing this issue.
