Yeah, so it's not running smooth but you don't even need to use VPN to break their 'Americans' only policy. I guess they wanted to say that just to not anger existing contracts so they could gather as much money as possible but the downside is it's running like arse at the moment and you can't watch anything and struggle to even get an account XD.

But if you're interested in a free trial it's totally possible in the UK just by giving a bogus address.
