**UPDATE
So I've been running my firestick 4K without VPN for a few days to try it. I have 100MB/s+ wifi and around 90MB/s+ wired. In both situations, even without VPN, I get buffering. Sometimes it will work 20 minutes without buffering, sometimes it will be seconds before it starts. Am I doomed to be someone who never gets to use IPTV!!? Starting to feel like it!
If I was to buy a Formuler Z8, is that really going to solve my problems? I've googled extensively and many people seem to be able to use the Firestick 4K without issues. Why am I getting buffering with a decent internet speed!? **
OK, so here is my problem. I've posted before about my issues with VPN/wifi. Now, I have moved into my own place with my own internet. I'm using a firestick and have the ethernet adapter so it is wired. I'm getting 300MB/s wired and 50MB/s with VPN.
Without VPN, IPTV (several options) works almost flawlessly. With VPN (even 50MB/s) I cannot watch many live TV channels, particularly sports.
I have Express VPN which so far has been the fastest VPN in terms of speed.
I really don't want to use IPTV without a VPN, but I don't see any other option. I'm curious if anyone has similar issues with Express VPN, or if perhaps people have similar stats and more success with another VPN?
All of the 'you don't need a VPN' chat doesn't work for me. It may not be an issue now, but there's no telling when tracking/enforcement will become a real issue and I want to protect myself to the level of a VPN.
Thanks
