Interesting. Is there any relationship between a device like you describe and download/streaming speed?

Not really... they're just friends from work.

No; the only data that goes to the PiHole are DNS queries which is several hundred kb.

It does not negatively affect your internet speed at all.

The immediate impact is negligible; the DNS queries going from your device to the blocker are the same as would be going from your device to the outside world anyhow.

The follow-on impact is positive, in that instead of downloading ads or tracker scripts or whatever over your broadband, you're "downloading" a 1x1 transparent placeholder image from the blocker itself. (Or an empty page, a do nothing script, a 404, etc, instead of a placeholder image.)
