Upload Speed – This measures how fast you can send data to others.A lower number (measured in milliseconds) means a faster connection. Ping – This measures the round-trip time it takes for messages sent from their original location to get to their destination, and then back to the host.This is an especially important number if you are looking to stream, game, or download large files online. A higher number equals a faster connection speed. Download Speed – How quickly can you load a page (in Mbps).When assessing the speed of NordVPN, here are the key functions we observed: We tested servers using Quick connect, and using the manual selection tool. However, if you need to choose a server in a particular region in order to get around geo-blocks, you’ll need to manually choose a server – not simply use Quick Connect. With NordVPN’s Quick Connect feature, you are automatically connected to the fastest server available. One thing’s for sure – the faster the connection, the better. In certain cases, because a VPN encrypts your traffic, your internet service provider cannot see what you are doing, and, therefore, cannot throttle (slow) your activity. Here’s the thing: Most VPNs will slow you to some extent, simply due to the extra step they take to encrypt your connection, making sure that all of your data and online activity is safe and secure.īut, in some cases, using a VPN may actually speed up your internet. So, why would you want to add a connection that significantly slows your streaming/gaming/torrenting/browsing?
If you are planning to use a VPN of any sort, it is because you are trying to access a service that you cannot adequately access without the use of a VPN. The first feature that I wanted to review was NordVPN’s speed.
