Why Watch The World Athletics Championships with a VPN?
If you experience buffering or loss of picture quality when watching the Championships, ISP throttling may be to blame. Some ISPs limit your bandwidth when you connect to streaming sites. A VPN encrypts your connection, so your ISP can’t see what you’re doing online. This prevents it from throttling you.
Many streaming services are restricted to certain countries, so you may find yourself locked out of your usual streaming services if you travel abroad. A VPN can change your virtual location back to your home country, so you can take your streaming accounts with you anywhere.
A VPN also lets you bypass network restrictions, so you can unblock sports streams on school, work, or public Wi-Fi networks.
Select Your Virtual Location
It’s easy to stream the World Athletics Championships when you travel, thanks to PIA’s server network which spans 91 countries. Select a server in your preferred country and stay connected to Athletics coverage.
