Stopping people sounds a bit more like advocacy than in managing communication effectively while there is a service outage. Do some crisis planning and have your messages set to post automatically, have someone on call to handle the support requests politely and individually if possible, and you guys can focus on the nuisance. Be transparent, as you have been. But please be grateful for your current customers.
I figured it was an ISP issue when your service worked over 4G but not home broadband.
Moving your servers to NA won't avoid the ISP blocking you for 2 reasons:
The court order ended yesterday and won't be in place again until August if they succeed in getting another one.
It's not a takedown notice, it's stopping your users connecting to you. The ISPs and FAPL will be monitoring "the list" of known providers when they see a spike around 3pm Saturday, they will block anyone on the 3 main ISPs outwardly connecting to you, so when they see you are at "Server A" no one on those providers can access "Server A", you change to "Server B", you will only get blocked again at "Server B". The reason VPNs work is because the ISP doesn't see the user connecting to a server/IP that should be blocked but somewhere located in a completely different part of the world.
Also, the FAPL court order was specifically obtained for free Kodi addons, and cannot be a permenant ban meaning the list would be reset every week.
Too many companies are using this court order to excuse poor service and it's getting boring, there is no evidence to suggest any paid service has been targeted, other than the word of its owners.
There have been plenty of bigger (and smaller) providers who had perfect streams yesterday...
