Can I use a VPN to watch The Ashes in another country?
Some Ashes viewers may use a VPN server in the UK to watch on BBC iPlayer or a server in Australia to watch on 7plus. You should be aware that doing so may violate copyright law and go against PIA’s terms of service.
PIA VPN puts your privacy first and we never keep tabs on our users’ activity. In fact, when you use PIA, even we can’t see what you’re using it for. That said, we support the media industry and urge you to carefully read your streaming platform’s terms and conditions.
Why Watch The Ashes with a VPN?
Once Australia and England start their fight for The Ashes, you won’t want to miss a second.
Unfortunately, third parties can ruin your stream. Public, work, and school networks often block streaming platforms. Your ISP could throttle your bandwidth, interrupting the match with constant buffering. Worse still, cybercriminals might try to steal your data.
Make PIA your go-to VPN to unblock restricted networks, secure your traffic, and stop ISP throttling while you watch the Ashes live.
