Receiving the bbc in france

As previously mentioned a vpn by their very nature will slow down your connection. Also the BBC periodically block them. So one that works now may not do so later. This is a method which is faster than a vpn, doesn’t involve downloading any software and is a more secure method. It is a low cost option and it works. I have been using them for the last 7 years without issue and rarely any buffering despite mutiple users. Smart DNS. This will allow access via the internet to all uk broadcasters. It also includes a free optional VPN should you need to go down that route. From memory last year I paid about £36 for the year. You are not tied in for 3 to 5 year contract as required by some vpns. You can use it on as many devices as you want. Works on smart tvs, set top boxes, tablets, pcs including windows, mac, android and linux.
