Hello!

 

Welcome to AirVPN!

 

Do you know your ISP speeds?

 

The servers are just fine at handling the load, no worries. There's plenty tips of all sorts in my new users guide . My guide should be pretty simple to read a little in, so don't worry.

 

Also, is it slow speeds when just browsing, or is it during downloads/torrenting or just speed tests? Do note that just because servers are close to you, it doesn't guarantee they're the best, so try many others too .

hi ill try read the guide and see how i get on i like it some times where some people can do remote access help but alot of vpns dont offer any more whiich is good and bad.I do download a lot every day or 1 or 2 days tv shows.I cant see what the fuss is all about all im doing is downloading once 1080p file watch then bin and DMCA go mad also i like the US versions as normally uncut unkike the stupid UK censors i dont trust them lol Thank you.

Movies are made to be watched, it's only fitting to let people pay for watching it since that's what a movie is there for. Otherwise, no one gets compensated for their work.

But I agree, watching a movie comes with either high prices or a substantial removal of the watcher's freedom, so we download until someone comes up with a creative way of letting everyone watch a movie without bleeding to death, so to say.

 

May I ask if you're on Virgin Media and using a Superhub?

Yes, and the most important part of people supporting them are so-called "pirates". It has been repeatedly shown in the last 12 years that so-called "pirates" are the best customers for content (especially videogames, movies and music) and that the infringements of copyright (only those for non-commercial purposes) are an essential pillar to sustain even the obsolete business model based on copyright.

 

Just some random studies that prove the above in the last 12 years:

http://copy-me.org/2015/10/ep-4-pirates-anti-piracy-artists/

http://www.webpronews.com/new-research-once-again-confirms-that-pirates-are-the-best-customers-2013-01/

https://yro.slashdot.org/story/11/07/20/2119232/suppressed-report-shows-pirates-are-good-customers

 

etc. etc. etc. (you should be able to find about 15 different, independent studies which, with different analysis methods and different gathered data, all show a causal correlation between the act of "pirating" content and being better customers).

 

It has also been shown in the past that "pirates" spend up to 10 more times to access content than "non-pirates" customers.

 

Only one study (commissioned by BASCAP/TERA, so already suspected of being biased) tries to show a causal correlation between piracy and contraction of work places available in the content industry, but that study has been proved as containing two important scientific mistakes which make the study irrelevant:

Piracy and Jobs in Europe: Why the BASCAP/TERA Approach is Wrong. Social Science Research Council,

 

Nice executive summary:

This is why AirVPN is the best VPN - how many other VPNs have their Staff accounts saying things similar to what Staff just said?!

 

Thanks for the links Staff

 

Hahaha.

I'm always trying to spot a legal option first. There are services which made it superfluous for me to download certain kinds of content: Spotify for music and Steam for games. They work very well and prove that it's possible to divert people from downloading. Maybe it's just me, though.

Right now there's nothing making movies equally enjoyable for me, so I download them.

 

I can confirm Staff's words to a limited degree since you need the right kind of people to actually fall into this category. There will always be the stubborn types who download because they don't need to pay for anything.

Copyright infringements as a market failure to meet demand is a strong point supported about 10-12 years ago by Oopen Rights Group, EFF and others to a certain degree. Here comes the clash between the need of control and the revenues, because higher control on how and when and on which devices customers can "consume" a content causes lower revenues on the short term, but copyright industry (until some years ago: things are evolving) reputed that on the long term stricter control was to be preferred, as lack of control could bring to other problems (more independent creators/artists, new distribution methods, rise of new licensing methods "copyleft" etc., and rise of startup companies able to become highly competitive even with sector giants in a short time thanks to the level playing field provided by a neutral Internet).

 

In short, losing control was (and is still to some degree) seen as long term loss of revenue due to stronger and more diversified market competition.

It's not a matter of confirming our words or not, it's a matter on how to investigate so called "reality". If we agree that a scientific approach is the only acceptable way to investigate reality and build predictive models, the above quoted sentences have been falsified exactly by the studies we mentioned:  a paramount purpose of statistical inference is providing/deducing one or more properties which are true when you consider the whole population (data set) and you can't falsify it with any empirical, single example (any deviation is already included in the data set from which properties derive, in a quantitative, and not qualitative, way), so the sentence is "false" (in the sense that it's an unsupported assertion/dogma falsified by currently available data).

 

Of course, when the "population" is made of persons, behaviors, social manners, ways of living can evolve quickly, so it's important to periodically repeat studies and gather fresh data, and of course things can change in the future: it can't be ruled out that one day pirates will be worse content customers than non-pirates, but this is, to the best of our scientific knowledge, FALSE now and here ("here" = European Union and United States, where most of the studies have focused).

 

Kind regards

It would help us if you provide more details. What kinda speeds do you get now with AirVPN? Are you using the Superhub 3.0? 

 

Copy and paste the log here so we can have a better look.

[Guest]

I have the lastest HUB 3.0 as my old one one died few months ago.When i dont use  VPN i hit top speeds every time with my own isp Virgin Media but im not gone download that way incase i get a fine or letter to risky.

[LZ1 672]

I suppose I might as well also post it here. Regarding Virgin Media. A bad or wrongly configured router or ISP can make a world of difference .

[Guest]

here is a screen shot of my own ISP speed

that Virgin Media guide no way i will be doing it as im crap at that tec stuff and ill only messit all up and get confused sorry

I spoke to Virgin media to day after speed test they never told me about i was not hitting over 100 speed which i normally get they told me now i have to do something with my adpter settings which they told me that before.They said would not tell me as they dont want speed is as cant see shite ? i dont think this part has anything do with slow speeds and now im getting all confused sorry.

HI @

giganerd

how did u know

 

We've had many issues and therefore threads about Virgin Media/Superhub. Try a search if you decide to try AirVPN again.

 

Because that's what most British people use I think . He's German.

 

Because of the reason above. And, I'm Russian.
