VPN with IPTV

by badmo4

I’ve recently subscribed to a VPN. I was wondering if anyone else has found a massive difference in channel changing and picture quality because mine has improved massively. What’s everybody else’s setup mine is the following- Nvidia shield Eternal IPTV ExpressVPN ISP BT

Probably find that BT were actively limiting the throughput when they knew you were streaming.

I think you may be right 👍

If using a VPN improved your quality, means you were being throttled or possibly blocked by your ISP. Glad it's working better for you. Some people have the opposite.

I’ve had no problems since switching to a VPN last week. I’ve found a perfect server on IP vanish and my IPTV has worked flawlessly since. I had a lot of issues hence why I tried a VPN. Must be a BT thing!

Yeah definitely seems BT are doing something to ever so slightly hinder the connection. I’ve subbed to ExpressVPN and it definitely makes a difference. I’ve also been using the split tunnelling feature, but I’m not sure if there’s any point enabling the Kodi app. Because I use Real debrid with Realizer addon and I’m sure that’s an encrypted connection anyhow.
