That is the case with most VPNs when you’re using the WireGuard protocol. Try checking your bandwidth speeds when using the OpenVPN protocol. I prefer the OpenVPN protocol instead of WireGuard since it has been around longer and has withstood greater scrutiny over that time.
Not sure why anyone would switch protocols to one that underperforms others. Some protocols work better on certain networks only because of the ISPs not the VPN. For example, Proton has a new protocol called Stealth, unfortunately it doesn’t play well with my ISP so I simply went back to Wireguard. But even then Proton has “Speed up” coding that helps eliminate some of the issues and provides a stable and faster connection. But whatever works for you is all that matters. Thankfully there are many protocol options available and more coming along yet. I highly recommend everyone spend the time to test their various VPN protocols to see which works the best on their systems.

Is it just me, or is their proprietary app horrible to use? Both the launcher, and the IPTV player

It’s not just you. I have the U5 and I skip their player in favor of TiviMate. With that said, their new box supposedly comes with an updated player.
It’s horrible compared to Tivimate and it’s horrible that Formuler puts out an update to make their app so you can change playlists with no hassle but if you own a Buzz box, it looks like if you want an upgraded app you’ll have to fork out 600 bucks for the Powerstation 6 or stick with the old useless one.

I think @PapaS needs a stiff drink and a good rub down now. You’ve gone and gotten his dander up. 
Good day Mr PapaS.

I have noticed this too. My boxes with the largest processors have the best speeds through the vpn. I know they say you only need so much speed, but it seems that i have less buffering on them.
I agree and why I prefer a vpn on a router. Android boxes are not that powerful and any stress taken off of them they will perform better.

Hi Miki. I have received my buzz tv6 (16gb one, the green monster) finally. I’m very impressed with its performance so far, very fast and at this point have seen no buffering. Graphics are really beautiful, also did not know that this unit is manufactured by Nvidea. There are a million different settings so there is lots to learn. Maybe you can get one so that I can pester you for info that I cannot find. LOL. I will keep you up to date on its performance as time goes by.

I would love to have one my friend. How did you find out it was made by nVidia? Buzz is in Canada so that would be huge news. Please keep us updated with your experiences. I am looking forward to reading them. Rest assured if I get one I will be doing a deep dive on the settings, and reading the manual from front to back. I love that sort of challenge. I have a 256GB Samsung EVO SSD just waiting to be plugged into the bay. Tx for letting us know.
Hi again Miki. I found out by looking at the spec sheet that is available in its DRM info that is attached with it.
