Area 51 told me to fuck off then refunded me

by lospollosakhis

So initially I had asked for a partial refund as they were no longer providing sky sports or bt sports. This was the main reason I resubbed. I was told that they are more than just sports. Well live sports the main reason people use IPTV services and football is the biggest sport. I said I wanted a partial refund on the basis that you was not providing the service that was advertised, to which they gave a snarky reply to show 'where is this advertised'. Anyways I sent them a last email saying that I would just ask PayPal to chargeback the payment and get a refund like that. I was told to fuck off and then I see a refund anyways. I guess they didn't want their PayPal to be in bad standing.

Area51 is shit. I once paid for a month to see what it was like, installed the app and saw the horrendous quality of alot of their channels and deleted it about an hour later.

Fuck these cunts. Seems like no one has a nice thing to say about them. Hope they fucking burn and lose everyone for being spineless chickenshit cunts.

Despite what these fellas think it’s probably the beginning of the end.. it’s not that they don’t carry football anymore(that is a big factor) but it’s how they are handling the backslash that is what’s hurting them and will likely sink their ship.. guess things aren’t to secretive in Area 51 anymore

Biggest reason they don't want a bad report with Paypal is if paypal investigates the account they will shut them down. Any money in the account would be lost. Better to just give the money back and the user can't complain to Paypal.

The quality of the streams was crap. SD at best, even though they advertise HD.

Pay more for a better service.

I've had area51 for a year. It's the best I've had so far and now use them as my primary. Customer service had always been nice and pleasant and very helpful. Sorry y'all are having problems with them.

You're using grey market IPTV services which clearly means that you're already too cheap to pay for regular TV services AND you complain about this? Are actually this dumb?

Hold on...you wanted a “partial refund”?? Isn’t Area51 like $5/mth?? What did you want back, 75 cents??

Hell, even if you had paid for a full year, thats $60, likely less for the year. Get over yourself! This isn’t some legit business that owes you anything!! You gave a thief money hoping he’d provide you with a service. You were fortunate you got anything! Crying to mommy (Paypal) to get your $5 back is a dick move in my opinion.

People need to man up in this game.

YOU ARE BUYING STOLEN PROPERTY!!

If its not what you hoped, call it a lesson learned and move on to the next thief in line. I get so sick of these people that think this is some sort of legit enterprise that should follow standard retail practices. Ridiculous.

Lots of providers are losing soccer because of the sheer amount of legal shit going on. I guess all you sports nuts are going to leave IPTV and let the rest of us use it for what it was meant for, cheap TV. :)

Good, you deserved it

If you find an alternative please let me know.. I signed up for the same reason and I'm kinda disappointed they pulled the football... Of course since I'm only using it for this reason and the odd us channel I don't feel like paying more for a service I'll occasionally use.

Damn shame this all happened after soccerstreams and the equivalent were removed from reddit. :(

I've stopped using Area 51. Im using www.da-iptv.com service. They are pretty cool guys and they are the cheapest. 55 euros for 12 months.

As a reseller myself, people do chargebacks all the time on Paypal, it doesn't really hurt us.

It really only hurts the customers because it forces us to raise prices to try to cover our losses from people who take advantage of the paypal system.

I just ban ipaddresses and hope those clients don't return :/

There's a lot of honest people out there still, so it's still a great community overall.

I have just started with Area 51 using their app on a Formuler Z7+.

I have had zero functionality issues for 3 weeks. I had an issue with Area 51 on Windows 10 and MyIPTV Player. Area 51 ticket was addressed over several replies, and ultimately fixed.

I don't understand all the negative reviews as my experience is just the opposite.

Dollar for dollar it's hard to beat.

I came across many positive things about area 51. Google and you tube. So went for it. Terrible mistake. Lacking in UK sport and no sky sports football channel? This is the main one. Finally found a good one and did a review for myself.

I don't watch sports, but I've had Area-51 service for several months, and am very happy with it. Whenever I've had a problem -- with billing, or speed, or a specific channel -- they've always replied to a ticket quickly, competently and politely. Just one data point....

$5 a month for a great service and you want a partial refund. That sir is a cunt move.

So what’s the overall point?

Wow really. What a post. We never disrespected you. We can't tell how much tv you watched and break $7 down to what days you had left on the the account. Seriously bro. It's illegal tv not frigging Sky UK. Be lucky if they ever answer you at all in English as well. And FYI with most of the IPTV coming from the US it's not UK football that's the biggest draw it's actually USA NFL football. Only 150 UK customers ever on at one time watching Football. 10,000 USA customers watching NFL and now that's finished it'll be about the same for MLB So yeah we can sacrifice a few UK sports channels
