The iPad is much nicer and as expected, the other laptop/desktop is performing poor. It may indicate the issue is with the original device.

Approx 45Mbps out of a theoretical max line profile of 50Mbps is fine given other things may have been connected via wifi or whatever else. Plus it was WiFi.

Not sure why the difference, but overall line looks much better to me.

Blue circle VPN Off

Set up a VPN last week on Win10 Laptop & Win 10 desktop plus 2 iPhones and the iPad I showed the test from earlier.

The link is to a list of tests today from the Win10 laptop over Ethernet with VPN ON then OFF for 2 tests in blue circle then ON again ????

VPNs usually = speed loss, worse latency etc.
Only use as required.

VPNs in most cases will be lower speed - just the act of encrypting/decrypting everything has to reduce throughput to some extent. The only question is whether the VPN traffic itself is treated as a higher priority and goes over better routes than it would have normally, possibly specific types of traffic could be low priority in an ISP network whereas secure traffic may be higher priority - for most ISPs that is probably not the case.

The poster has been using this VPN all the time and did not think to throw this out there?
