if he uses a desktop for the app, he can get windscribe for free (2 gb limit)
Yes he did, which is a pretty common occurrence across the many streaming platforms. I believe they refer to this as "churn", where people watch the content they signed up for, then leave - or just leave when the trial period is over.
All it took was a phone call to Digicel and within half hour the HBO package was available. The average person would assume that if HBO Max's biggest draw is the release of Matrix 4 in this instance, then paying for the service would grant you access to that content, otherwise why bother?
Now, hearing he has to sign up for a VPN at an additional cost while not being familiar with those types of programs is an additional nuisance to already not getting what he (thought he) paid for. Just laying it out from his perspective.
As for the Windscribe VPN, doesn't free VPNs suck in terms of bandwidth provided and security? Also, would 2gb be enough to stream an entire movie anyways?

Also I just tried logging in again and it's saying there's too many devices linked on the account or some nonsense. So I can't access anything now actually. What sheit is this? So much drama for one streaming service?
Is this anything to do with it seemingly being a shared account? Because it's some other account name/pic came up this time.
nah they stopping the simultaneous release this year. they have a contract with AMC theatres for next yearDMan7 wrote:I hope WB decides to put all their movies in 2022 on HBO Max as well. WB don't have anywhere near good enough movie franchises to spend money going to the theater to watch. Keep them all on HBO Max and I'll watch.

Soul Collector wrote:^ Magically started back to work after waiting like 30 mins. All I did was login to the app on his laptop - nothing else. I'll organize a VPN for him for one month so he could take in the movie in peace. Will be dropping the HBO package and not ever getting back that app anyways, so thanks for the help once more.

Something’s wrong.
You tried contacting Digicel?

Yes, something is wrong. Actually quite a few things which aren't even related to these issues but I eh going all there nuh. Brother tried logging in a while ago to check out the app - same thing, too many devices on the account and can't view a thing.
Once I have Flow reinstalled, the next and final time I will be calling Digicel will be to come pick their sheit up and terminate the service.Duane 3NE 2NR wrote:I think the issues you are getting are from attempting to use the service by using your cable provider.
You are correct. Anything Digicel related is cancer.

I just couldn't bear to sit through any more of the show. I'm probably coming off as snobbish but it was painful. Just not my cup of tea.
