No. LivingAbroad.tv is designed so that your internet connection should not slow down or become unstable. Our Smart DNS technology works differently from VPNs and does not route your entire connection through remote servers.
How LivingAbroad.tv works
Only a small portion of your traffic—specifically the DNS lookups required to determine the correct streaming region—is processed through our service. Your video streams and general browsing continue to flow directly between you and the streaming provider, using your normal internet speed.
What this means for performance
-
No speed reduction: Video data does not pass through LivingAbroad.tv, so your bandwidth remains unchanged.
-
Low latency impact: DNS queries are lightweight and do not affect overall responsiveness.
-
Stable streaming: Because your full connection stays local, streaming quality remains consistent with your regular ISP performance.
When performance issues may appear
If you do notice slower speeds, the cause is usually unrelated to LivingAbroad.tv. Common reasons include:
-
ISP congestion or bandwidth throttling
-
Wi-Fi interference
-
Streaming service outages
-
Device or router performance limitations
Resetting your router or clearing DNS cache can also help resolve isolated issues.
In summary: using LivingAbroad.tv should not worsen your internet connection. It preserves your full internet speed while enabling access to regional streaming catalogs.
