I live in palawan and have smart pldt. download speed normally is below 1mbs i installed proton vpn and selected tokyo and now my download speed is 50mbs , why are the throttling me ?
without VPN PLDT is routing through Singapore but they have a problem with Singapore network at the moment so using a VPN forces it to route through Japan.
Sometimes you can avoid congestion using VPNs. If they are really throttling you, VPN wouldn’t help and your speed will not get faster. I’m not sure if Smart cheats speedtest, try it to know how fast your connection is to the nearest server. Also try it on other servers and try to gauge where the congestion is if ever there is one.
Depende both ends ng server. Paminsan talaga may ganyan na bibilis with VPN kasi masfit.
