Watch the World Athletics Championships in HD
Things are heating up in the 800-meter final and your favorite runner is nearing the finish when buffering strikes! Don’t miss the action because of a sluggish VPN.
CyberGhost VPN provides unlimited bandwidth on all our servers. We’ve also installed 10-Gbps servers in high-traffic locations, so you never have to worry about slow connection speeds.
Enjoy ultra-fast speeds with state-of-the-art VPN protocols like WireGuard®. CyberGhost VPN automatically selects the best protocol for your device, but you can customize your connection in just a few clicks.
If you’ve noticed a drop in picture quality when streaming, your ISP may be throttling your connection. Some ISPs do this when you access streaming platforms to conserve bandwidth. Luckily, you can get around content-based throttling with CyberGhost VPN.
CyberGhost VPN routes your traffic through an encrypted tunnel, so your ISP can’t see your online activity. If it can’t see what you’re up to, it can’t penalize you for streaming. You’ll be able to reclaim the speeds you pay for and watch the World Athletics Championships without interruptions.
Evade ISP Throttling
Stream Events Safely on Public W-Fi
Free Wi-Fi hotspots make it easy to stream an event while on the move, but they can be dangerous. Cybercriminals can jump on unsecured networks and steal your passwords or hijack your session.
CyberGhost VPN protects your traffic with 256-bit AES encryption. If anyone intercepts your data, all they’ll see is scrambled code. Activate our automatic Wi-Fi protection feature to stream securely whenever you connect to an unknown network.
CyberGhost’s integrated Kill Switch cuts your traffic if something interrupts your VPN connection, so your IP address and your traffic stay private.
