FAQ

Can I use the same account on multiple devices?

That depends on your plan limits. Always confirm simultaneous connections first.

Why does buffering happen only on specific channels?

It often comes from source load, route quality, or local Wi-Fi constraints.

Should I prioritize Ethernet for testing?

Yes. Ethernet removes Wi-Fi variables and gives a better baseline for performance checks.
