Fibre/VPN

[derek60]

I have a 3BB internet connection which is OK, but when I watch UK TV the VPN connection often drops. As I am using ExpressVPN, which is supposed to one of the best, I am assuming this is because of the internet connection dropping rather than the VPN.

So I am thinking of going for a fibre connection, which, if my assumpion is correct, should mean the problem is resolved.

Does anybody have an experience/knowledge of this?

I use Express VPN with TOT fibre, and whilst I do get the occasional freeze, I’d say it is 95%+ ok

I have 3BB fibre and most of the time it's as good as it should be, only a couple of slight glitches over the 18 months I've had it. I do have to re-boot the router equipment a couple of times a month to clear the static though. I use 'Hola' as my VPN and find it quite adequate when streaming the news channels from UK.

I too have 3BB Fibre what do I have to do to re-boot the router and how do I know I have too much static?

Hi PET, simplicity is the word.

When the internet slows down it's normally down to your own equipment. Easy cure is to unplug the 2 elements of the internet supply......... the router and the smaller fibre box for about 30 seconds. Plug back in and you're good to go.

I have three connections at the rear of the router, one to the internet, another to the computer and the third the power supply. I do not see a smaller fibre box and the router is new from 3BB- just in case we have a different model

Just disconnect the power supply and wait for 30 seconds then re-connect. All should be good to go when it auto-reconnects

I have 3BB fiber and use Freedome VPN. I haven't had any issues whatsoever.
