The day in a life of a TPC (The Pirates Corner) Reseller I'll start this off by saying it's not pretty... I'll also probably jeopardize my clients connections because once they see this, they'll ban my panel. Jacob, when you read this, banning those guys connections, will only hurt your name more!
- I bought my Unlimited Credit Panel powered by TPC in May of 2019. I was told follow fair usage policies, not to create more than 20 lines a month. Sounds completely reasonable.
- The panel also came with a custom DNS for ease of use..During the 3 months I've owned my panel, I had sold less than 15 lines
- The service is overall decent but generally unreliable and full of buffering. The service was slated as 5 connections - No IP lock, VOD included - Do not sell for less than 35 a year to not undercut their direct sales. All those facts aside, I still thought this was a decent panel.
- One month after owning my Panel, the service went ISP locked. Naturally 2-3 of my clients were irrate. Totally get it, I refunded, disabled their account moved on.
- Roughly 2-3 weeks after this change, it was reverted.
- About 2 weeks after this event, we lost VOD. Around the same time of Vader's dissappearing.
- We were told it was coming back.We were told it was not coming back.
- We were told we needed to pay for our new VOD seperately if we wanted to be able to sell.. Alot of us DID pay.
- New VOD never made it to production, I forget their reasoning... No refunds were given to anyone.
- Jacob/ Aiden the owner of the service came across a great deal on Nvidia Shields/ $100 only so many available.
- Very few people received their shields.. No refunds were given
- We were told a NEWER VOD was coming to the service, but again we would have to pay to have it readded to our panels. People still paid....
- The newer VOD did make it to production..
- TPC was in desperate need of a replacement server because their's was "broken". They proceeded to ask every reseller for donations to the new server, if you didn't you were shamed in the group chat.
- Jacob/ Aiden decided that everyone who had an UNLIMITED panel, no longer does. After your initial 40 lines, you will have buy credits. Still kinda fair if you sold 40 lines you made a good chunk.. but its not UNLIMITED.
- Jacob absolutely hates PM's on FB. Instead he insists you use his ticketing system - Still Fair
- Many resellers re-upped with credits in order to continue to sell this service.
- Jacob/Aiden closed the general IPTV reseller FB group chat ceasing communication with his resellers to almost nothing..
- Roughly one week later, Discord was closed as well for lack of usage.
- Jacob's ticketing system went down. He said he closed because no one used it and he didnt want to continue to pay the bill.
- The service went down for roughly 7 days just last week with very little communication to resellers and consumers. He blamed everyone else for the reason his service was down.
- Jacob/Aiden made an execuctive decision on July 10th, unless you pay 25 Euros a month you will not be able to sell any lines of IPTV. Regardless of the amount of credits or lines you have...Everyones panel was reset to 0 credits
- There were 2 instances where jacob "forgot" to pay his IPTV bill and the service was down for 6-7 hours in the morning of the USA.
THIS ALL HAPPENED in 3 MONTHS!
tldr; To Recap, TPC is a scam. The issue on the consumer side of this is that resellers are not allowed to advertise it as TPC, they must use a rebrand..
This will allow his scam of business to continue to unsuspecting consumers.
