Did you do any testing with a VPN?

When I was visiting someone in Atlanta GA, the speeds weren't good for what they advertised, but once I put on a VPN the speeds almost tripled.

They just have internet through Comcast too, so I was wondering if something was up.

From here, a VPN with servers in Toronto yielded speeds of about 8 MB/s max for IDM, uGET, and qBittorrent, which is about 1/2 what non-VPN connections delivered. VPN servers in Netherlands delivered a little less than that.
