Hi everyone,
I have done some searching and have read that others have noticed that shaw seems to be throttling VPN connections. Can anyone verify this? All of the posts I read here and on other sites were quite old.
I have test this myself and when I use my VPN service from a different ISP (at a friends or at work) my speeds are much faster. For example lets say my shaw account and my work or friends ISP (different ISPs) are both 100mbps. I am getting maybe 40 mbps on my home shaw internet through my VPN yet get 80 to 90 mbps through other ISP.
I am on the shaw 150 so to have speeds drop that low are very disappointing. MY VPN provider is reputable and has tried to solve the issue and their opinion seems to be shaw is throttling as well. I have connected to many different servers and ran many different speed tests, etc.
My data usage per month is nothing out of the ordinary so I don't believe I am being throttled because of that.
I have set up the VPN using both the VPN companies software on my computer, to Openvpn, to connecting my entire network to the VPN through my router, all with the same results.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.
