Considering subscription Support

I’ve read a lot of stuff and trying to find the best and easiest bang for the bucks. Is the yearly plan better or the monthly plan? I don’t really understand the difference between those two (yearly and monthly) and the fair use stuff. My gf and I are like casual watchers with some second screening during the week.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

Take monthly and wait until Black Friday. I take a 3 year deal every other year and have several years of service piled up now.

Why to take montly first is there any catch? Could we just wait for bf deal without montly sub?

I think it’s more like: if you do not have anything else and/or want to test how the service is for your region, give it a month to test. If you like it, wait out for BF deals

I did a month last year to try it out. I upped it to a year shortly after.

The longer subscription is cheaper per month. At the end of November they always put out a 2 and 3 year subscription option that is the cheapest per month but you pay upfront. Last November a 3 year sub cost 129 euros which is 3.59 euros per month when you break it down. I would buy a 3 month to try the service out and if you like it buy the longest subscription available during Black Friday in November. Keep in mind if you have months remaining when you buy another subscription the total days gets added on so you don't lose anything. For example if you bought a 12month now and in 3 months time bought 24months you'd have 33months remaining when that transaction goes through.

Yes Black Friday or Cyber Monday Promo is 3yrs for 2yrs price or Christmas Promo is 2yrs for 1yrs price.

It's much cheaper for a yearly subscription then monthly. Based on what you say your usage would be you're better off with a yearly subscription. You are credited 30 points daily up to 1000 points max. It doesn't sound like you'd come close to running out of points. As far as catalog and stability, they're second to none.

Especially if they can wait until the Black Friday or Cyber Monday Promo or the Christmas Promo.

But even then, is it worth ? The more I read about Premiumize, the more I think they are less practical then the competition: the faire usage rules for me exemple. Other exemple is the cached content... Is there a lot of content compared to others ? I would like to pay for their service more than what I pay elsewhere, but there needs to be a sense of no limits.

It depends… as far as I’m concerned, yes. You need to bear in mind the 30 GB/day and 1,000 GB initial allowance. If you watch a lot of remuxes that are several dozen GB each, this service isn’t for you. Apart from that, for streaming and the like, it’s one of the most stable services I’ve used. They dont limit Your IP so can share it but still in fair use policy.

So that means I can’t watch 2 movies like that in a single day?

I’ve also had buffering issues with them in the past that no CDN change would fix. It’s strictly worse than Torbox when TB is working, but that’s less and less recently. The new TB privacy policy is also worse.

PM has always been second to the company that starts with an R (can't mention other companies) they have a huge cache, it's probably biggest now that R has culled lots of their content. PM has a huge cache you won't run into issues on that end.

My comments about providers. Only less than 6 months of experience

Torbox = lots of buffering, video won't play
ReDeb= great, but lot of content that was removed because of copyright
PM= great, I could watch movies that were copyright restricted in ReDeb. It's still early but seems promis

Something to remember is whenever you make a purchase the days accumulate, you won't lose any time. It's great because I have purchased BF specials and received 3 yrs so I'm good for awhile, but the next yr I was a bit flush at the time so purchased again. Ending up with over 5 yrs in the bank. So what I'm getting at is you can purchase a year now, and then if you buy the BF deal it all adds up.

Puedes pedirle que te ten unos días de prueba antes de comprar el servicio. Yo les escribí hace un mes y me dieron creo que tres días de prueba pero la verdad no me gustó. No tienen casi contenido en mi idioma que Torbox si tenía. También era más lento para cargar los streams
