Rover1 Posted November 2, 2023 Author Share Posted November 2, 2023 I have been told by the support staff of one of the servers I have that I am having freezing and lack of programs playing because my ISP (Bell) is blocking my feed. They have recommended a VPN to deal with the issue. I have read that VPN's have a tendency to slow down internet speed and can cause latency issues. Any thoughts would be welcome.

VPN will typically slow down any internet connection. And the effect is greater on the weaker boxes (entry level boxes, firesticks, etc..) due to the weaker CPUs. But unless you are going to be streaming high bitrate 4k on a entry level box, it should not affect IPTV viewing. You are correct in the greater latency, but if you select the server carefully, it may not be too bad. I often select a server in my city and does not affect latency much. But latency will only affect the speed of channel changes typically. Once a stream starts, latency has no impact. I know Vide0tron (in Quebec area) has been also actively testing various blocking on some streams and some services. In vide0tron's case, it is mostly a complete block of some streams, and mostly during major sporting events. A decent VPN does help. And you should experiment to see which server is the best for you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
