Find 5 other people and start a family. That seems to be the easiest route now.
I think I'm in Portugal at the moment

Received the 'out of country' cancellation notice this morning.
Any other known work arounds at the moment?

How would they even go about this?
There are plenty of heuristics they can use to say "the behaviour of the logins on these accounts don't look like a real family unit". Whether you agree with them or not, I'm sure they will crack down.
Yep I was removed from one a few months ago as it wasn't a household share.
You are all meant to be in a single household per the terms.
It’s pretty clear you are not when none of the people are never on the same IP and the IPs point to locations which are geographically distributed.
It’s no different to the Netflix account sharing crack down.

I am running a family account with a couple of people who are not actually in the "family". Fingers crossed it is left as it is.

Stupid question: what's the difference to a family account?
Worst case my partner and I will end up getting normal premium (full rate
) but what does a family account give you? And why might you get a family account if you're not a 'family'?

Been using Poland for the last couple of years without any problems.
Up to 5 people on the same subscription which is about the same price as buying 2 subscriptions.Stupid question: what's the difference to a family account?

The terms say they should all be in the same household (e.g. live together).

I'm obviously being really thick as I still don't get why you'd get that.
We have standard at the moment, I can be watching something on my iPad while indoor cycling, as my partner watching something downstairs on the TV. (logged in on the same account)
Should we technically have a family account if multiple people watch at the same time?

For all you lot moaning about youtube.
If you have a smart tv, that means it will come with youtube. If you have VPN, set VPN to albania and load up youtube. Thank me later. Same method for Firestick.
If you're using youtube on your phone, Set vpn to albania and enjoy youtube. Or on iPhone you can use Swizztube
Desktop - use Firefox, install Ublock origin, bobs your uncle. Or you can use the albania vpn route if you want to.
In my household, vpn is set to Albania as i have shown the kids/mrs what they need to do if they want to watch youtube on the tv.
I stopped paying for premium a while back, about 2 years back maybe even more. and i use the mentods above. I will not be paying for premium when the methods above are good enough for me.

No, that’s fine but it means all your recommends are merged.
