VPN Recommendations and Discussion

[Dannie Boy]

After several months of faultless working, Express VPN started playing up again last night. Trying to access iPlayer. Is anybody else experiencing the same please?

Dannie Boy, I'm particularly interested in how you are being affected, if at all.

I didn’t use it last night but by and large Nord works seamlessly

Those who may be cancelling Express, make sure you go in and turn off "Automatic Renew". I turned it off 2 months ago and received "sorry to see you go...", and yesterday found out they didn't turn it off and it was set to auto renew again in July. I once again turned it off and deleted my credit card info.

17th July is when I need to activate Nord. I see there are 3 packages, and I'm thinking Basic is good for my needs. What are the benefits in going to Plus or Complete? I see even Complete comes in at just over half the price of Express VPN. I certainly can't see much benefit in Complete.

The page is also talking about a Saily eSIM data gift - what is that all about please? I already have unlimited high speed internet on my phone in Thailand, and I don't intend more than maybe 5 days outside of Thailand anytime soon, so I'm guessing it would be a pretty useless gift to me.

Need to see the packages to explain what the differences are. Also interested as I'll be switching when my Express runs out in August.

An eSIM is a type of SIM card that is embedded directly into a device, only top-end phones have them.

More on those here: viewtopic.php?t=41475

LOL - that most definitely excludes my phone then. I'll take the eSIM and donate it to a worthy traveller with a top end phone

[Dannie Boy]

I think I took just the basic package which at the time cost £77.42 incl VAT for 2 years cover on up to 6 devices - looks like about the same price still for up to 10 devices

Yes, it does look incredibly cheap.

[Dannie Boy]

Can I ask how all of you Nord users and recent converts are faring at the moment? It's just under 3 weeks before I'm due to make the switch from Express.

I've been really battling with Express over the last 3 days to get any sort of BBC/ITV streaming service at all. Is Nord affected by what is obviously blocking action by BBC/ITV, and if so, how badly are you being affected please?

[Dannie Boy]

I can’t offer you the same accuracy as normal as I’m currently in the UK, but I still have my VPN turned on to UK and I was watching Glastonbury on BBC last night ok.

I have been using Nord for over four years and I am very satisfied. I used two different paid VPNs before Nord, and I prefer Nord.
I can’t comment on UK TV, but I stream American TV basically every day without any problems.

I've joined the club guys - I am now a Nord man.

Have used Nord for some years now, very fast and flawless, price good in comparison to some others, just dont go for the Password manager option as an extra, its useless. I have it included in my package, but do not use. I am using Bitwarden as stand alone password security. GN.

[Big Boy]

Yes, it has been better than Express, so far.

Let us know how you get on with it on PC and the app on the phone. My Express subscription expires next month and I'm looking to switch, they've hiked the prices too much.
