Noticed this morning that my interweb download speeds for one of my favorite YouTube channel was very slow. 4.7 mips down, 7.2 Up!
Change my VPN server: 9.9 down, 105.2 up! Not bad, at least I know it's not nation-wide.
Disabled VPN:
11.8 mips down, 188.2 up!
Of course, these speeds are almost always variable; two similar tests with very similar speeds is rare, in my opinion. Using VPN is only one variable. Moon phase is another...
I've been using Nord VPN for over a year. They tend to not like me using a particular server. But they may not be monitoring all the servers loads as often as I would like.
