Summary
Reviews
WTF! TU have arbitarily blocked P2P across all their servers. Way OTT. I’ve stuck with them because the service has always been solid and fast but this is to much and im out.
I agree with the last commenter. Decent speeds and server choice but many good competitors are now a lot cheaper. Happy with the service but may try one of the cheaper ones when my current contract runs out.
So far so good. Speed is excellent and choice of servers is more than adequate for my needs. Easy server switching via open VPN. More expensive than some others but worth it IMO as my iphone is also covered
