RUDZY Posted 16 January 2015 Author Posted 16 January 2015 Need to know if paying for the full VPN sorts tbe issues... Could be worth a go, i might just see tomorrow how it performs.
RUDZY Posted 16 January 2015 Author Posted 16 January 2015 Deleted all the silly free toolbars and 4 other things that come with the free trial. this has helped

theessexfox Posted 16 January 2015 Posted 16 January 2015 Anyone else keep clicking on this thread to read about the evils of Sky and finding stuff about Cyber Ghosts?
RUDZY Posted 17 January 2015 Author Posted 17 January 2015 Not on atm but how do you delete the stuff mate? Go to CONTROL PANEL. Click on: Programmes and features and look for anything that you didn't have before you installed CYBER GHOST. Simply click on and delete.
Thefoxman Posted 17 January 2015 Posted 17 January 2015 Go to CONTROL PANEL. Click on: Programmes and features and look for anything that you didn't have before you installed CYBER GHOST. Simply click on and delete. Control panel on the lappy or on the programme? If on the lappy how are you meant to know if they were not there before ? Excuse me as I'm a novice
davieG Posted 17 January 2015 Posted 17 January 2015 Download it free. Go to http://www.cyberghostvpn.com/en_gb/download/windows and click the green button. I keep ending up with the trial package even after uninstalling and reinstalling.
Guest Posted 17 January 2015 Posted 17 January 2015 I have yes, still happens on 600kbps for example I don't even have fibre and I can run it at 900kbps with only very occasional buffering.
me_plus_one Posted 17 January 2015 Posted 17 January 2015 I don't even have fibre and I can run it at 900kbps with only very occasional buffering. Which VPN are you using?
Webbo Posted 17 January 2015 Posted 17 January 2015 Maybe it's luck, if there's a lot of people on the VPN at the same time perhaps it slows you down
davieG Posted 17 January 2015 Posted 17 January 2015 I've got BT Infinity 2 which is supposed to get up to 76mbs but the best I can get on my old laptop is 21mbs and 35mbs on my PC. With Cyberghost (Trial package, can't get the free one) I'm getting 13mbs with the 3450 kbits/s stream quality.

davieG Posted 17 January 2015 Posted 17 January 2015 To get the "trial" did you set up an account with email address etc? Well I did initially but since then I've uninstalled and reinstalled the 'free version' to try to get the free option but I still get messages saying it's a 6 day trial. I'll see what happens when the 6 days are up.
psychonaut Posted 17 January 2015 Posted 17 January 2015 The buffering will be due to the VPN. Your connection is being redirected to servers that are often shared by 10's of thousands of users - especially the free services. Find yourself a decent VPN and problems should cease.

I'll see what happens when the 6 days are up. You must be on a 7 day total trial of their premium product. I haven't signed up that's probably why it doesn't work as well because free users are not priority. Starting to think my setup is ok its the VPN choice that needs looking at.

FireFox Posted 17 January 2015 Posted 17 January 2015 I am not sure if this works for what you're all trying to do, but when I wanted to watch stuff online from the BBC or 4od websites, I would use a vpn, get it streaming, and then stop using the vpn. Once streaming (at least on many websites) you don't need the vpn anymore because it is past the point where it'll check for/block you based on your location.

I have heard of this but unfortunately it doesn't seem to work.
Thefoxman Posted 17 January 2015 Posted 17 January 2015 I have heard of this but unfortunately it doesn't seem to work. So we need a good vpn then? anyone reccomend

Ah, that's unfortunate. Usually you can just disconnect it right away, but that's for websites not something like xbmc I guess.
MooseBreath Posted 17 January 2015 Posted 17 January 2015 I'm on virgin media fibre optic, normally get about 18mbps from an advertised 20mbps package. Through the free version of cyber ghost I was getting 4mbps and that was running the live stream of the golf perfectly at 400kb/s last night. I'll see if I can push the quality any higher today during the football, presumably it'll be busier and therefore might buffer more then though. One thing I did notice is that my laptop was labouring a bit just running cyber ghost on its own with nothing else open. My laptop was mid-range four years ago so if anyone is running it on a less powerful system then that might explain the problems.
