What area and how's the streaming quality for you? If you've experienced limitations with streaming, did you try a VPN and how did it go?

I am doing streaming tomorrow. I haven't tried streaming yet. Haven't had the time.
I am still looking for a vpn. I heard express vpn is good for streaming so i think im going to try that.
 
I get the same speeds and after some initial troubles it's stable now. Have no problems with streaming or playing and downloading games but P2P is throttled 24/7. Still waiting to hear from Rain about that.

I see the p2p is throttled. I got ExpressVPN and tested torrents while connected to the vpn. download speeds are in the mb/s and not kb/s :)

I am in randburg and its been 2 weeks now. My speed is constant 30mbs as im on the R700 package. I am using ExpressVPN and no buffering at all on 1080p. Express vpn download speeds are between 20 and 27mbs depending on the server.
