4 tips for getting the best video quality with a Sky Go VPN
Suffering from buffering?
With a VPN, you don’t have to wait for your streams to load. Follow these tips to get the highest picture quality when you use the Sky Go player.
- Connect to the UK VPN location that gives you the best speeds (Sky Go recommends a minimum speed of 2 MB per second).
- Use an ethernet connection or go to a spot with the strongest Wi-Fi signal available.
- Close everything (tabs, windows, and apps) that might be using up your bandwidth.
- Turn off other devices that are connected to the internet, because they’re eating up bandwidth too.
Set up a VPN to watch Sky Go and Sky Go Extra on any compatible device
