I was wondering if anyone could shed any light on the issue I'm facing currently. I have broadband with Vodafone and it's currently syncing at 38.2 mbps and a wired test shows 35mbps and Wi-Fi 32mbps. Whenever I try to stream twitch at 1080/900p source I get buffering every 10 or so seconds this is on WiFi and wired connections. This is over various platforms. Nvidia shield app,Samsung mobile app,xbox one app and desktop. Today I tried watching over 4g on my mobile(not vodafone) and it plays flawlessly. I then tried a VPN on my phone and also Nvidia shield(wired) and this worked great no buffering. As soon as I switch the VPN off it just buffers again. I've spoken to my ISP who say it's nothing to do with my connection and speeds aren't being throttled or managed in anyway. Unsure what is going on. They suggested changing my dns to 8.8.8.8 - 8.8.4.4 but that made no difference at all. Having looked on other isp forums this problem exists in one way or another. Does anyone know what could be going on. Thanks
