I've been trying to do some research, but I haven't been able to nail down specific numbers/speeds as far as impact on bandwidth. I'd like to find a great VPN for my Bay Area residential connection which averages at about 170mb (22MB) down, and 20mb up, and doesn't greatly impair my speeds. Any suggestions?

Whoa my goodness. My speedtest just doubled after signing up and installing PIA. So I get to be anonymous AND my speed doubles???!!! I've got kill switch on, DNS leak protection active, and ipv6 leak protection. I'm still trying to figure out the torrent address part though.

The speedtest results you are getting is from the end point of the VPN.
Your connection is still limited to what your modem sync to (either DSL or CABLE),

also note that if the end server is pushing 5Mbps even if you have a vpn, you will still download to 5Mbps .... the internet goes at the speed of the slowest link:P
