    I've recently subscribed to Surfshark and when giving you a list of server locations from which to choose, it advises which are the fastest. These for me are Spain, France, Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Poland, italy and the US. So I reckon the answer to your query is yes, with the US included due to good infrastructure.
    Less obviously, India is also on the list.
    Extra speed doesn't really matter. If it's fast enough to keep up it's fast enough!

    I'm still searching for the country where Charlton always win!

    What’s the destination of choice where to watch this from , meaning I haven’t a clue what country to choose cos the kids couldn’t get on last time from Luxembourg where we’ve always gone to to watch .
     choice of three for me.
    Luxembourg 
    Belgium
    Germany
    I think it was stated higher in this thread, Germany have not purchased champ rights so appears the best bet (location and availability). 
    Hi, @BalladMan as a tech savvy Lifer do you agree with the advice I came across recently that it’s best to choose a location which is physically as close to your actual location as possible?
    Yes in theory. Near location = Lower latency = faster and more stable connection. To be honest, the throughput of the CharltonTV feed is not particularly data hungry (it’s not 4K or even HD) so I don’t suspect it would make a massive difference in this particular case. 

    I would probably focus more on the locations that are likely NOT to be geo blocked (Germany, as you said) than a country nearer to origin than Germany. 
    I’m interested to know why you say the stream is not even HD.  Is it the bitrate ?

    It is HD, but it is not full HD. So runs at a lower bit rate than 1080 full HD.
    It is likely the quality provided to Charlton by the streaming provider from the EFL.
    I can only assume the EFL are stuck in the noughties, and that is the reason.

    As it is a Sky requirement that all league matches are covered by at least a 4 or 5 man crew, it would seem logical that the picture from the cameras is full HD or 4K, so it’s what EFL do that downgrades the stream.

    Preston lied. The game is not on Paramount+ as far as I can tell. Charlton TV it is.

    4k TV has been out for years. No reason why a stream cannot be 4k aside from camera and cost of bandwidth and storage. Always money.

    HD and full HD is a bit pedantic.  It’s not 1080p or above so therefore not a what most would qualify as HD. As I said, base it on availability rather than latency as it always streams to me as potato quality.

    They will need cameras who can do 4k as well.

    And I'd probably need to upgrade my ancient laptop to cope as well

    I’m in Spain but I had to set VPN to Madrid to get the pass for tonight’s match.

    Doesn't seem to be any overseas restrictions tonight....

    The Addicks are back on the road this evening with a trip to Portman Road to take on Ipswich Town and supporters outside the UK and Ireland can watch all the action live on CharltonTV (KO 7.45pm BST).

    Supporters in the UK and Ireland can watch this evening's game on Sky Sports+.

    CharltonTV will be streaming every kick of the action live for international viewers, with commentary from Terry Smith and former Addick Steve Brown. Coverage begins from 7.15pm BST.

    You would need an 8Gb connection to stream in 4k, and that is currently not available in this country. Most fibre lines are only capable to about 1Gb currently, not that you would reach those speeds, as the data is not sent at that rate. 

    Beyond that, you tend to get packet (data) loss with broadcast protocols used for steaming, which you see as pixilation. 

    You are right, it is about money, but probably not the magnitude you expect. It will be the next upgrade when companies have finished building their fibre networks. 
  • Can’t see a Hull stream available to buy at the moment?
