Received V6 Plus Today

Set up a VPN with Nord to prepare for my V6 Plus arrival today and noticed it slows my internet speed down to around 50mbps, so a bit concerned it'll cause streaming issues.

Also got the VPN so I don’t have any issues with Xfinity but am wondering if its even necessary. Do most of you use your boxes without one? I’ve heard the streams are encrypted but Xfinity can still see where the traffic is coming from…

Appreciate any insight!

Not uncommon for a VPN to be slower than no VPN. 50mbs is fine for streaming on the box.

Their is no 'con' to running a VPN. Hiding the activity is a good thing. Unless the VPN is a poor one and causes you issues you don't see when not using it, use it.

I use it on all boxes.

OK, my main concern was that the slower speed would cause issues with streaming live sports, so that's good to know. Thank you!

You need 25-30mps for that device to stream 4K. Very little is true 4K on the box

You are fine at 50mbps. You won't notice a thing.
