how's it going everybody welcome back today we're going to be taking a look at expressvpn and surf
shark in terms of their speed and the kinds of results that we're getting here so before we get
if you guys are interested in any of these vpns i'll find links to special deals and discounts in
the description down below as well as full reviews if you'd like to learn more about these vpns
so uh just to give you guys a heads up first of all i am in beirut so i tested three regions
so switzerland which is close to me uh or you know roughly the european region i can
consider it uh rather close to me uh i tested new york and i tested japan so
um a server that's somewhere in the middle such as switzerland the far east and the far west uh so
with that in mind any decrease between let's say five to twenty five percent
is uh considered to be uh some of the best results in the industry a lot of vpns will give you
results even over 30 to 40 percent decrease in speed so yeah of course we're going to be using
the download speed to measure such uh decreases and of course my speed here is nothing impressive
it's rather terrible actually uh but i'm just here to kind of give you a bit of an idea of
course every uh speed test will vary uh if i go ahead and refresh all these speed tests i'll get
roughly different results uh so just keep in mind that this is only just supposed to give
you a rough idea of which vpn performs uh better than the other so starting with expressvpn here
my base speed is at 5.72 megabits per second uh i tested the new york server got a 4.62 megabits per
second result which is a 19.23 decrease uh moving on to the surf shark results so uh at 4.79 uh per
megabits per second excuse me which is a 16.25 decrease which is a 2 3 difference actually
so in this case um surf shark is three percent faster than uh expressvpn and by the way i am
using the best performing protocols just so that you know that'll be the lightweight udp protocol
with expressvpn and the wireguard protocol with surfshark which is a true wireguard protocol
with the swiss server we got 4.96 of course it's closer i'm going to get better results
with expressvpn which is a 13.28 megabits percent decrease excuse me at 4.96 megabits per second
with surf shark at 5.08 which is an 11.8 uh percent decrease at 5.08 megabits per second
now what are we looking at here we're looking at roughly a two percent difference so surf shark is
consistently about two to three percent faster than uh express vpn not a big difference but
let's move on now uh with the tokyo server 4.68 megabits per second which is an 18.18 percent
decrease with express vpn and with surfshark at 4.61 megabits per second which is a 19.4
decrease with surf shark right here so um one percent faster expressvpn is one percent faster
with the tokyo server now as you can tell i just wanted to give you guys a rough idea of which vpn
is uh faster but um honestly does it really matter at this point they seem to be quite equal now i
i think we could say we could safely say that surf shark is one to two three percent faster
than uh expressvpn uh probably with nearby servers and slightly far away servers but if you go really
far such as the far east or the far far west maybe l.a rather than new york i went with the
east coast because it's closer but maybe if i go with the west coast we'll get better results with
expressvpn but even these results are about one to two three percent better so they're kind of
equal it seems like um i mean it really depends at this point which uh vpn gives you more value
um are do you want it for ping do you want it for uh speed security it really depends on what you're
