Slow speed on "best" servers

[hugomueller 13]

Speedtest result from airvpn speedtest:

 

Down: 9.427 Mbit/s Out, 3.245 Mbit/s In (34%), 20MB - Up: 2.315 Mbit/s Out, 2.132 Mbit/s In (92%), 20MB - Date: Sun, 23 Nov 2014 20:25:58 GMT - Buffers: 20MB/20MB - Laps: 3, Time: 326.31 secs

 

I get a very slow Download speed. I tested several European Servers but I don't reach 4MBit/s. 

I also tried the "best" sever from the status page:

https://airvpn.org/status/

 

My internet connection is far better as 4MBit/s without airvpn (more than 30MBit/s are possible and I have a very low ping)

 

edit:

Port is 443 / UDP

OS: Win 7 x32

Then my guess is that your ISP is throttling your connection. Try alternative protocols: https://airvpn.org/faq/software_protocols/

 

I have to use SSL to overcome my UK ISP doing this.

Hello,

 

Guys, it's just a personal observation, but it worked for me.

 

I moved into a country where the internet is quite slow. However, I find that I have very good speeds on Romanian and French servers (even above 4 mbit/s). The recommended server usually connects me to a Netherlands server, but they are slower for me than the French and Romanian one. So try all the servers one by one and see which one gives you the best speed. You can use airvpn's speedtest because is saves you a lot of time.

 

Secondly, try different ports. For me UDP 80 works better than the rest. So try looking in your settings.

Changing to TCP helped a bit (now getting 7MB/s), different Ports had no effect

Hello,

 

yes 7 MB/s (=56 Mbit/s) is an excellent performance, especially in TCP.

Since you get higher performance in TCP than in UDP (while it should be the contrary) probabiy your ISP shapes UDP traffic.

 

Kind regards

Sorry wrong unit I was talking of 7Mbit/s

No further hints?

Try using a SSL tunnel, surprisingly it gives me the best speeds
