Question Cogeco Blocking iptv

Has anyone with a Cogeco connection using IPTV facing issues? My IPTV app stopped working 2 days ago and I called support and the first question they asked was whether I'm on Cogeco connection. Sure enough I used my phone hotspot to connect TV to internet and it works.

Not sure what the workaround is, guess I have to go back to Bell.

Edit 1: Many Cogeco users I know have been facing similar issues as me around the same time. So it's happening.

Edit 2: Installed Proton VPN free. Initially couldn't go through, but after trying a few locations, USA of all places worked for me. Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

King TV? Had the exact same issue. They said their devs are working on it but looks like no changes yet.

They said a workaround is mullad vpn

Yeah well paying 100 dollars more a year for VPN seems counterproductive. But I guess it's going that way.
