Changes to international pages (4) 10:25am on 08 Jul 2009 Goodbye - I already have found alternatives
Changes to international pages (3) 3:07pm on 02 Jul 2009 Just logged in to say goodbye. It was nice to know you when you cared. Now you don't.

For these that are interested, I am in the UK and accessing via a foreign proxy. I pay my license fee but get adverts on the dreadful International page. Just not accetable.
Changes to international pages (2) 3:23pm on 17 Jun 2009 As Steve Herrmann has not yet replied to all the posts, I guess he and his colleagues don't know what to do next.

Maybe we need to ask for help from Joanna Lumley to point out to the BBC the error of their way.

I am in the UK and I want to receive the UK version (without adverts) whether or not I have a foreign proxy supplied by my company VPN.
Changes to international pages (2) 4:02pm on 15 Jun 2009 As I connect to the Internet through a company provided foreign VPN proxy, despite using a UK ISP (BT) and being physically in the UK, I assume that my licence fee will now be reduced as the service is provided to me supported with ad revenue. Where do I apply to get my licence fee reduced?
Changes to international pages 1:32pm on 15 Jun 2009 I want to add my voice to the complaints - I live in the UK. I access the BBC website in the UK from my home in Cambridgeshire. I pay my license fee in the UK but now, because of the changes, I can no longer see my customized UK BBC news page - and - now I have to see adverts as well. Because I work for a large international company we use a VPN system which has different access points around the world. I use an access point in Finland and the BBC think I am in Finland despite my ISP being BT.
Come on BBC, either have different addresses as suggested above (.co.uk or .com), or provide us with a log-in facility to choose whatever we want.
