Looking for the Best VPN to Watch British TV

Seeking Help
1

So far my search for a good VPN has not been very satisfying. I have been testing on Apple TV and Firestick.

IPLAYER

  1. ExpressVPN works but the quality is not good
  2. Surfshark doesn’t always work for live TV. When it does, the quality is really good
  3. CyberGhost works very well

ITVX

  1. ExpressVPN works but quality can be poor
  2. Surfshark sometimes works but the quality isn’t always great
  3. CyberGhost usually has good quality with some rare buffering

NOWTV

  1. ExpressVPN has perfect quality but extra channels like sports don’t work
  2. Surfshark works well but sometimes it stops suddenly and I have to restart the app on both Apple TV and Firestick
  3. CyberGhost doesn’t always work, but when it does, it’s flawless

DISCOVERY +

  1. ExpressVPN has good quality most of the time
  2. Surfshark doesn’t always work and the quality isn’t very stable
  3. CyberGhost only works on PC

CHANNEL 4

Only works on Apple TV no CyberGhost app available. Works fine with ExpressVPN and Surfshark

OTHER CHANNELS STREAMING APPS

No issues with other apps I tried

Have you tried a speed test with the VPN if it works? Maybe it’s just the server you are connected to that’s affecting the speed

Why haven’t you tried NordVPN? It works really well for me

I can’t say I’m a fan of NordVPN

I’m curious why you feel that way? I have Express and was thinking about switching to Nord or Surfshark around Black Friday depending on the deal

I find it really frustrating to have to go through over 100 locations to find one that works. I’m not talking about main services like Netflix or Hulu, but if I want to stream something from Australia, I don’t want to waste 20 minutes searching for the right server

Got it. Which VPN do you really like then? I am doing my research to choose one

It depends on what you want to watch. I find Express perfect for streaming from the US, but for UK shows, the quality is often poor. It doesn’t even work with some extra channels on NOW TV UK, so for UK content, I prefer Surfshark. If you just need to stream popular stuff like Netflix or Hulu, I don’t see much difference between one VPN and another

I’m mostly streaming at home on Firestick and my phone. Plus, Express seems to be one of the more expensive options among the major VPNs. That’s also a factor

You might want to consider sharing the cost with someone to make it more affordable

@Fox
What do you mean by sharing the cost? Can you explain that?

I have not had any issues with Proton

You could try Private VPN. It allows port forwarding and supports Wireguard. Here’s my referral link if you’re interested otherwise you can sign up normally.

I use Deeper network with no problems on any streaming service

What about Windscribe? Can you share your experience with that
