ANSWERED Slower Canadian Server Speed, or being throttled?

[PapaMichael 0]

Hey all,

 

My VPN internet speeds have been significantly slower for the past week or so (About 5-10 mbps down, compared to 70-90 mbps down without a VPN). Before that, my VPN speeds were quite excellent, being only a few mbps lower than my naked speed.

 

Have the servers been experiencing any significant extra load lately (I use the Canadian servers, for what it's worth), or has my ISP recognized that I'm connecting to a VPN and throttling my speeds to it? If it's the latter, is there any way around this?

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

Using a higher port resolved the issue. Issue closed.
