For some reason I could not get speeds better than
35 Mbps with SS on when I have been averaging around 80 Mbps???
No matter what US server I chose, could not improve above 35 Mbps !!! WT_ ???
So I tried other countries & servers… same thing.
I disowned SS, installed Proton & Express and guess what happened??? SAME THING!!! 37 Mbps was the max speed reached regardless of which VPN in use!!!
With out VPN, speed average is 350 - 370 !!!
I’m in Atlanta … ISP is Xfinity
Are you using atlanta based vpn? Reason I ask is for some reason Atlanta servers always are the worst in the whole country. I get better connections with Hong Kong servers than I do Atlanta
If your internet speed was getting throttled by the ISP, you would notice it on the non-VPN speed test. Since your standard internet is still currently 350-370, something else is obviously causing this. Weird that it just started yesterday, and didn’t fix itself with different VPNs. What device are you using? Have you tried as @skook1448 suggested and restart/reset modem, device,router, etc?
I hope you know and understand that you will not get the same speed as without the VPN on. There is always a drop and most times what you are showing is typical.
I lose speeds with VPN, but not enough to have issues. Try doing all maintenance within the apps themselves, force stop, clear cache, reboot device your using. I use Buffalo SS location, but sometimes for big events, I found Luxembourg works well for me. I use Shield and Onn boxes.
Also, force stop and clear cache on Surfshark itself.
