how fast is your internet while using vpn: speedtest using GLOBE 4g lte

Appreciate the effort but that result is inconclusive TS. You should have used the same server your ISP used in the beginning when you ran the speed test for your VPN. Dapat DOST-ASTI, Quezon City din ginamit mo dun na server instead of MyRepublic, Singapore. When you tested it with your ISP and it used DOST-ASTI, that means most of your Internet traffic may be routed to that server since it's the "closest." MyRepublic however is biased to the VPN's server in Singapore since its the closest that server, but your Internet traffic will not get passed through it. For testing a VPN's performance, you should always use the same server your ISP uses or any server that's closest to you.

Most people also misunderstood when the provider say " We provide you the Fastest VPN Service" thinking with VPN in general, if your ISP gives you 10Mbps of download speed, a VPN will make it faster than that, making it like 12 or 15Mbps. Unfortunately, that's not how it works. A VPN will only give you around 90 to 96% of your average throughput. For example, if your ISP provides you with a 10Mbps plan, and your average speed is 9Mbps, with the "fastest" VPN you might get around 8.37 - 8.64Mbps speed.

There are several factors why their "fastest" is actually a bit slower than your normal connection with your ISP. First off will be the protocol used. For example, between UDP and TCP, TCP will always be slower than UDP for many reasons. Also, other protocols such OpenVPN, SSTP, IKEv2, PPTP, etc. would give you different results as well. Nandyan din yung issue ng latency. Kung nasa Pinas ka and you will be using a VPN server in Singapore or India, definitely your connection would not be equal to your normal speed, it would be a bit slower and ping will be a bit higher. That's why it's recommended to use a Philippine server if you're in the Philippines that way you can at least get around 98% from your normal speed, minsan pa nga magkapareho pa sila. Also there are some behind the scene factors din that's going on in the VPN server such as making sure you're secure, that your DNS or WebRTC is not leaking, etc.

So with all these factors, you don't expect your Internet speed to be faster "literally" when you use a VPN. To make your Internet activities private, to obscure your physical location, to give you your privacy using VPN, you can expect to sacrifice a little bit of that speed. It's a trade-off.
