I'm home sick so I watched the game on sky go on the weekend - or at least I tried to. The quality was dreadful and the thing was constantly buffering. I ended up watching the same content on the keepup youtube channel. Much better quality and no buffering.

The interesting thing is I didn't use a VPN or anything, I thought keepup was supposed to be geoblocked, but it doesn't seem to be the case.

Assuming keepup is not geoblocked in NZ for all Phoenix Games, then Sky has a real problem on their hands because not only are they charging for something that is free elsewhere, what they're offering is terrible compared to the free alternative.

Assuming Keepup is not geoblocked in NZ for all Phoenix Games, then Sky has a real problem on their hands because not only are they charging for something that is free, what they're charging for is unwatchable compared to the free alternative.
