All VPNs add a layer of encryption, which can potentially slow your connection, but ExpressVPN consistently ranks as one of the fastest VPNs around, so you probably won’t notice a difference. Our network of servers is constantly optimized to give you the best streaming experience.

In fact, if your ISP throttles video-streaming services, then using a VPN to watch BBC iPlayer might actually make your connection faster.

ExpressVPN helps you enjoy secure and private access to services worldwide. You can use it to bypass censorship in some countries that block access to sites like YouTube, Google, and Twitter. You can also use it to stream services securely, like Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and Amazon Prime Video.

BBC iPlayer works best when you’re connected to the UK server location closest to your geographic location. If you’re connected to a UK location and still having difficulty, please contact Support.
