Your broadband speed as well as which vpn server you are connected to will also affect your viewing

Middle of nowhere in rural France, maximum of 6mbs for me.

but all work

broadband running at 9mb

no buffering

And probably drops to about 2Mbs when using a VPN which will struggle streaming even SD

Too right! With the smart dns I watch the football on the second highest HD setting.

so what is your problem

Does anyone have any issues with the buffering its relentless. Ive just paid for cyberghost paid (only £6 for a year so not that bad) but what ever I watch it just freezes and buffers continuously??

It's not me who has the problem.

Never used a dns service tbh m8,does it effect your speeds much?

Not at all, because after the initial contact with the website to fool the region restriction, all other traffic goes directly from whichever website to your computer, nothing else is routed through anyone else's server.

So that's probably a better solution for streaming so, I use the vpn for torrenting as well as streaming so it suits my usage better, plus I get it for free

Sorry guys forgot to post back, there were a couple of things which I changed and it worked like a dream. I set the stream to 1400 instead of the highest one and I also changed my vpn server from automatic to one from their list which wasn't as busy. Once I had done this it worked like a dream
