Anyone have any recommendation for a VPN that is fast enough to stream video from sites like directv without buffering?  I have a very fast internet connection that has no problems streaming video without VPN on, but once my VPN turns on, the connection speed (per speedtest) gets so slow, and playing video becomes pretty impossible.  If you know of a VPN service that can handle streaming video without so much buffering, please reply. Thanks!

what country VPN are you looking for? Streaming what type of video (480p,720p,1080p,etc). Also how fast roughly is your internet speed.

this is a big factor regardless of what VPN you use; im able to use cyberghost and stream 720p with a few pauses here and there, my internet connection is fairly good.

theres nothing here. message me if you want to put something here.

Thanks for your reply.  :-) I want a USA VPN.  Want to stream 720p and 1080p video. 

Per speedtest, I have:

My internet connection without VPN:
22 Mbps down / 2 Mbps up

With VPN connected:
9.63 Mbps down /2 Mbps up

Any recommendations as to what I should do?

Thanks for your reply SubStrata. Have you used cyberghost to watch video on DirecTV?  Does it work without much buffering?  That is the primary place I want to watch video.  Thanks.

I had this problem before but not regarding video streaming but something else, I think you need a fast VPN service.

Simply search on google for it and chat with VPN company admin and tell them what you need.

I do not wish to recommend any VPN here.

usually to stream stuff of popcorn time, i can usually watch without any interruptions, and in the case the video needs to buffer, i just it sit for a minute while I get water or something. cant say for DirecTV though.

You can easily get USA VPN service or any premium vpn service that have servers in USA such as PIA, PureVPN, IPVanish etc

Buffering is part of the video streaming is only that in some cases it could be slower buffering or faster one.
VPN often reduce the internet speed due to tunneling but you can discuss with the customer support of any VPN telling them what you want to use their service for.

I think HMA and PIA works fine. You can choose the closest location to get good speed. They offer many locations to connect with.
