Slower speeds now I have changed broadband provider

Recommended Posts

Hi

 

I run AirVPN on my router which is an Asus RT-AC68U using Merlin firmware and using OpenVPN. I changed my broadband provider from Sky fibre to Vodafone fibre yesterday and suddenly my VPN speeds have dropped using the same equipment. With Sky I was getting 38/10 and using AirVPN I could download at roughly 35Mb. Now I am with Vodafone synced at 56/20 and can only download at 25Mb. Without the VPN I get the full speed of my line which is about 55Mb. Nothing has changed my side and I'm wondering if vodafone throttle VPN traffic? I am UK based and connecting to UK servers.

 

Tonight I am going to try the the Eddie software to see if the problem lies with my set up. Would changing the port help?

 

Many thanks

Hello!

 

Different ISPs handle things differently. So I think it's well-worth a try to use Eddie and then experiment with the protocols .


Moderators do not speak on behalf of AirVPN. Only the Official Staff account does. Please also do not run Tor Exit Servers behind AirVPN, thank you.

Thanks LZ1

 

I have just tried Eddie and get around 53Mb with the same server and settings as I have on the Asus router. So it must be my router that is slowing down my connection via VPN. Thing is I haven't actually changed anything from when I was with Sky Fibre.

Solved the issue 

 

I overclocked the CPU on the router to 1200Mhz and kept the ram at stock value. Using AES 128 cipher I now get around 53Mb
