    Canadian exchange rate makes it reasonable for Kiwis and Australians.

    Hey guys. I can get you a couple of international league passes (bought them through VPN) for lets say 60 USD? Message me if you are interested.

    Cheers :)

    To get an invite you just have to request one from their site. It can sometimes take a week or two to get the invite after you request.

    Users can send referral links but I don't know if it's ever been proven that they help any.

    Im a student living in Lubbock and did not get uverse until a couple months ago so I was on ballstreams for a year or so. Like many of you I was skeptical at first. I do not have a fast laptop or anything and I dont like to sit and watch my computer screen, I like to chill and watch the big screen with my bromosapiens and maybe a 6-7 if I play my cards right. So I did some research and I found out that roku players actually support a ballstreams app which was super clutch. I bought a used roku off amazon for 30 bucks (made sure to get the one that has an ethernet cable hook up and not just wireless) and it came in 2 days and I was gravy baby. All the dudes wanted to chill with me. I loved it because anytime I was bored I could watch any game in the league for 40 bucks for 90 days I believe. You can stream it from as many devices as you want at the same time as long as they are all on the same wifi. My roommate plays fanduel so that came in handy to watch multiple games at once. Im thinking about renewing just so I can watch all the games around the league again, it was truly a great experience, ill bring the beers, ill bring the beers

    LOL what is it about Australia don't video games also cost something ridiculous like $90 a pop?

    The funny thing is it's all digital, the costs for streaming shouldn't be that different from India to Australia, maybe they think Australia is super first world.

    I went the VPN route last year for LP. Mexican was the cheapest which was $1599 Mexican which worked out to be about $130 AUS.

    Had to cancel last week otherwise it would've auto renewed in Aussie $$'s, but no way I'm paying almost $400.
    Will go the VPN way again just before pre-season kicks off.

    Yep. XBox One games new are around $90.
    No idea why whether it's wages, cost of living, population or whatever.
    But prices here can be quite expensive.

    If you have ILP and it's on auto renew I think bills you in the country you last logged in. Last year I tried to renew, in Argentina (by VPN) but it didn't charge my card right away. I logged in later in Aus and ended up being charged for the Aus package :(

    This year it's charged me US$237.99 and I can't tell which country it used...

    I made sure i didn't have auto-renew on for this reason. They know they have the monopoly on the international market so they charge through the roof. It's so unfair (and i had ballstreams last year and found it to be useless - just my experience)

    Kind of skimmed through the thread and didn't see anything.

    Anyone know if cable providers will offer the single team $119 package? Or is it really just for mobile/broadband users?

    eh, looks like just broadband and mobile subscribers.

    I would consider doing that but I usually have to fast forward through the games pretty quick (commercials, free throws, etc.). The controls on mobile apps, the broadband page, or even League Pass through AppleTV just aren't as responsive. You don't have the ability to fast forward and see what's going on so you can press play when the action starts back up.

    Takes me at least 1.5-2 times longer to watch a game through streaming than through cable.

    Is ballstreams worth it? I live in Houston, with near 100 mbps internet.
