How to stop your ISP from throttling HOOQ
Especially when you travel, you may find yourself using an Internet Service Provider that deliberately slows video services like HOOQ. This “throttling” activity may result in lower-resolution video, frozen video due to buffering, or even loss of your HOOQ live stream altogether.
Hotspot Shield’s secure VPN connections use encryption to mask your data from outside eyes. From the moment the HOOQ live stream arrives at our VPN servers, we encrypt the data and send it on to your device. Unable to tell that you’re watching a video, your ISP won’t be able to throttle HOOQ.
