VPN recommendation?
 
Hi All

Can anyone recommend a good/high speed VPN for 120Mbps. I've tried HideMyAss but could only get around 20Mbps max

Thanks in advance,

Yeah it increased from 10Mbps to 20Mbps. turning off vpn and then downloading file from newsgroups and it was back between 90-120Mbps

I've always wondered what legitimate use a VPN service can be used for, especially where throughput is essential? ;)

Continued discussion possibly in contravention of section 2.4 of this forum's T&Cs...

For a guy who normally posts sensible stuff, how do you make that out. §2.4 reads:

Post, transmit, upload, email or otherwise make available any content that is illegal, abusive, harassing, defamatory, confidential, harmful, threatening, vulgar, libellous, invasive of another’s privacy, or ethnically, racially or otherwise objectionable.

Without being privy to the OP's reason for wanting a VPN, my guess would be to get round the traffic management for mega-downloading. IF ONLY IF) that's the case, if he lived in my area, I'd be very happy if the maximum rate from a VPN would be 20 meg!!

Just musing (or possibly mischief making? ;)) about the highlighted section...

Of course if the VPN is to bypass traffic management for legit downloads then the clause doesn't apply of course! Agree with your sentiment though :)
