Yes, in some cases, a VPN can actually make your Internet connection faster. While a lot of the time, you may experience a slight drop in speed (in the best-case scenario, it’s not noticeable by simply using your device as you normally do), it’s a different story if you experience throttling.
Throttling is a practice used by a lot of ISPs. Sometimes it is a necessary thing to do in order to manage the data load for all users so that everyone gets adequate speeds.However, some providers take it to extremes and cap bandwidth for specific services or apps – like Amazon, Netflix, Skype, or YouTube. That can significantly damage your call or video quality, but if you use a VPN, you can get around it! Your provider will not be able to throttle your speed, because they will not know what you’re up to.
