| 1274210 | 2012-05-08 03:28:00 | Still better IMO to use a VPN service such as HMA, that way you can still access the services outside of your home internet connection. Also I wouldn't know what policies their overseas servers had regarding your data, international stuff etc. Then again, this isn't a BAD idea. I'd like to see what the latency is like. That's the main reason i'd prefer an VPN, being able to switch from a NZ connection to an encrypted one. Pricing is very decent though. Just gotta hope the speed and latency don't reflect those prices |

| 1274211 | 2012-05-08 05:30:00 | Maxnet tend to do things properly, this looks pretty promising. Pricing is good too. If you read the terms and conditions of a lot of US/Europe video streaming sites, I think you'd find this is probably not in accordance. :p | wratterus (105) | ||
| 1274212 | 2012-05-08 06:26:00 | Probably not, but the way that Fyx word it, they're basically absconding from all responsibility and placing it on you the customer :D | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1274213 | 2012-05-08 07:13:00 | Don't most of those US only services maintain a blacklist of proxies & won't they be obligated to add FYX to that list? | Greven (91) | ||

| 1274215 | 2012-05-08 23:04:00 | Won't help where you need a US credit card and billing address for paid content.... Air New Zealand's new payment card could be loaded with United States dollars and used to pay for services which do not accept normal New Zealand-issued credit cards, |
