Not many vpn are able to defeat the catch up channels these days. Many of us on here use Steamvia which at £4.99 is good value and faultless service. If you search for vpn on here you will find the same issue over and over again. I had the same with a paid for vpn hence changed to Streamvia.

There are other ways but mostly paid for services.

Do you get a choice of different Servers or Ports to use with Express VPN?

I ask because I've never used it, and you do get a choice with some other VPNs - it could explain the difference.

Ah, I meant do you get 'a choice of different servers within the same Country', rather than 'a choice of servers in different Countries' - sorry, I didn't phrase the question very well.

With Express 2 years ago, yes they do have multiple servers in each country.
For instance if Docklands doesn’t work for bbc try another server location within Uk.

Not 100% but I think it’s something like click Europe-UK-Drop down box choose another location server within UK.
Any issues I always had a response within 24 hrs if not sooner from Express customer services.

Hope this helps

Thank you sticky1 - I was going to suggest changing servers if possible, but I thought that I would ask first whether there were alternative servers to which one could change...

Did that make sense?
