vpn help

JettyLT · October 26, 2014

Hey guys.I have extremely slow internet provided by eircom in Ireland.Download speed is 5mb/s max.Everything downloads at 500Kb/s and i ordered express vpn and i have a question if its possible to have much higher download speed than eircom? I tried to download files and the speed goes up to 300-400kb/s and i connected to uk/ireland/netherland servers and its just the same.Do you know a solution for me? Thanks.

no its not.

your connection to the internet is only so fast, using a vpn doesnt make it faster.

it can only help if your provider throttles some traffic like netflix in the us.

You can't increase your internet speed. if you are paying for more than 5mb/s than there is probably a "bottleneck" in the isp's network hub or the area around you. Getting a vpn will not help you get around the problem as it can only go as fast as your internet connection allows. Also if your files download at 500kb/s, make sure its Kb not KB. because there is a big difference there. Hope this helps
