Don't let the cheap Comcast HBO deal fool you, cord-cutters

Money quote:<p>The No. 1 reason Comcast&#x27;s offer shouldn&#x27;t signal the start to an HBO-loving cord-cutter&#x27;s dream: Time Warner brass isn&#x27;t interested in them as customers, even though there&#x27;s definite demand. The JP Morgan study found that a stand-alone premium content service like HBO Go or Showtime Anytime could sway 62 percent of that group to drop their existing cable service.

Hey everyone, I posted this in the related thread, but I&#x27;m really curious about it:<p>Has anyone in the U.S. had any success signing up for and using the HBO Go standalone service &quot;HBO Nordic AB&quot; through a VPN? It&#x27;s only $12 a month in Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark.<p>Is the content automatically subbed or dubbed, or is English the default?
