You shouldn't have to though.
There is a thread on the MSFS forum covering issues with connecting from the UK:
forums.flightsimulator.com
Why is MSFS 2024 Not Working in the UK?
It has become clearly apparent that users in the UK are essentially unable to load the game and have been so since this morning. By contrast, it seems that users in North America CAN load the game, as a quick scan of the forum suggests. This has been shown definitively by a number of users...

So, the US are getting preferential treatment for cloud / streaming access ?There is a thread on the MSFS forum covering issues with connecting from the UK:

Hmm, just tried with VPN - first connection via Dublin didn't work but had success with routing via east coast USA. This is the first time I've managed to get a flight to actually start, and with all the assets properly loaded - no Roblox-style graphics or "red morph" avatars.
If MS / Assobo have tried to address their server capacity issues by giving preferential access to US customers they deserve a serious reprimand.

2024? Nah, not for me. Too expensive. I paid £30 for the 2020 version and never use it.
I finally got into a couple of flights, low performance so started changing settings, restart needed and now back to stuck loading 
Though forget it and went to try Stalker 2 which I installed overnight, 150GB, and stuck at the loading game screen. What the hell is going on with games lately, I'm going to go outside instead soon

This thing does use a lot of data, averaging 30 to 40 mbs, quite often higher, occasionally 150 to 200. No wonder it couldn’t cope.

Got in this morning but no scenery; connected to the USA via VPN and most of the scenery loaded in and I finally got plane sounds!
Still a lot of issues though, some of the created assets (like the Doge Palace in Venice) showing as Pink (it was a common issue in MSFS 2020 as well), ships all over the place including a cruise ship sitting next to the Rialto Bridge; broken planes.
Performance is really good though; seems better than 2020 and graphically (when it loads) its definitely better as well.
The whole UK/US thing though proves its not a bandwidth issue; its clearly something interfering with the UK/Europe streaming somewhere.
