Android VPN poor performance on EE Network (UK)

[fHzpCOkf 0]

Hi,

 

The Problem:

 

Testing my connection speed outside of the VPN results in speeds of circa 50-75Mbps, however, in the VPN (through the Eddie client and a standard OpenVPN application) results in speeds of circa 5-10Mbps.

 

Test conditions:

 

Software: Android 9

Device: Oneplus 6T

Network: EE (Max plan)

 

Attempted Solutions:

 

• Changing to a wide range of servers (different countries and different servers within the same country)
• Changing the port
• Changing the Encryption methodology
• Changing Phones (seems to have the same issue with a Samsung S7 edge

I am open to suggestions as to why I seems to be throttled only when on my mobile connection as when I'm on my home Wifi the connection is near enough the smart regardless of the VPN.

 

Thanks.

Hello!

 

I must admit I haven't gotten around to trying the mobile version. But if it's like the desktop one, you should be able to change the protocol to TCP and IP 3. Doing so, may enable you to circumvent any throttling .

 

Though I acknowledge your other thread where you list apparent problems with changing protocols. I'd encourage you to post here too.

Thank for the quick response.

 

You are correct I have tried those options but they would not hold, I have submitted my post where you have suggested to see if we can at least verify the issue.

 

Thanks.
