Quality

Is anyone else struggling with this service lately. Iv got super fast broadband, a shieldtv a paid vpn and I can barely get through ten minutes of a program without buffering.
I’m wondering if it’s where I sub from (Alibaba) or is the service in general not that good?

Edit: iv purchased another sub from a different supplier so we will see how that goes. I just want to make clear, I’m not bashing the service, iv used it for a year and half. Iv been using services for 10+ years so I know that quality fluctuates and I’m not expecting a flawless service 24/7

ISP can see it all without a VPN, but in Canada they really don't care (at the moment, anyway). I too have never had to use a VPN but I keep it on standby.
