Whats your PIA speed?

[pekv2]

PIA east server boosts my connection by 26mbps.

Normal connection I get 58mbps, connected to east PIA, it jumps me to 84mbps!

Crazy.

Edit:
It jumps from 80-87mbps.

shit, mideast jumps me to 124 but stopped at 118.



My connection is a 50 mbps.

We changed to a 1000mbps linksys hub from a 100mbps linksys hub, connecting to a 1000mbps router which connects to a 1000mbps modem by motorola.

I did some real world tests rather than speedtest.net.

downloaded the 1gig with pia closes server mideast, got 3.61MB/s, without PIA I got 6.31MB/s.

disappointing.

Can't wait for FO's in our area. From google or verizon or someone for cheap.

price vs internet here is a rip off. Comcast gots it monopolized.

Most people use the OpenVPN protocol with whatever client the VPN provider offers.

pia client. with full encryption. I haven't touched my vpn in like a long while now. With mining+vpn, ping is harsher. I'll be back on it once I get my rasberry PI to run my gridseed/future gridseeds.

My internet is just much faster with pia than alone with my ISP. It's like with vpn, it cuts through all the bs that the ISP has. :s

Wow thats crazy that it actually boosts your internet speed instead of slowing it down. I've used PIA but it only maintened my normal internet speed.
