Will a VPN slow down streaming or cause buffering?

I stream a lot - Netflix, Hulu, Disney+. Will a VPN slow down streaming or cause buffering?

Turbo VPN actually improves streaming in many cases! Two scenarios: ISP throttling (ISPs slow streaming traffic to reduce congestion - VPN hides that you're streaming, prevents throttling), accessing geo-blocked content (watch US Netflix from anywhere). Speed impact depends on: distance to VPN server (closer = faster), VPN protocol (WireGuard is fastest), server load (Turbo has 10,000+ servers to distribute load). I tested on 100 Mbps connection: No VPN: 100 Mbps, but ISP throttled Netflix to 5 Mbps (constant buffering). Turbo VPN: 85 Mbps and no throttling, perfect 4K streaming. Turbo has dedicated streaming servers optimized for Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime. Smart protocol selection automatically uses WireGuard for speed. I watch 4K content daily with zero buffering on Premium. Free version works but has data limits - Premium is unlimited. Actually improves my streaming experience vs no VPN.
