Does Nord offer a trial period? Maybe @jac should take 'em for a test drive before your Surfshark refund clock runs out.
@JAC As far as which way to go, I’d suggest going with your experiences. Things will vary and ultimately it is your set up that is the final test. For e.g. maybe my ISP is at fault? I’ve not tested exhaustively. Got other interests and time demands to spend too much time down the rabbit hole on this one so could very well be issue on my end. That said, @phenomlab was experiencing similar concerns, so maybe something to that? Still, if it works on your machine and you’re price conscious … else maybe if the Nord fee is not a big deal then go that direction for greater peace of mind.
And finally, I would not put too much, if any, stock in any reviews from ad sponsored sites. Weight feedback from folks you know are “real” the heaviest.
Good luck!
P.S.; Oh yeah, when I click on nord’s streaming support help for netflix:
The Hulu link works fine though.
