how's it going guys welcome back and today i'm going to be showing you guys the speed and
performance of expressvpn so you can hopefully get a bit of an idea hopefully a rough idea of what
the vpn performs like nowadays uh so i've taken the liberty of course of testing one two three and
four servers and i'll be showing you guys the percentage drop in speed here before we get
if you guys are interested in expressvpn you'll find links to special deals and discounts in the
description down below as well as a full-on review that'll give you more of an in-depth look into the
privacy policy speed streaming 20 capabilities as well as security and features so be sure to check
those out if you guys are interested so getting straight into it now of course i don't have the
most impressive download speed or upload speed for that matter but the upload speed is alright
the download speed however is what we're going to be using as measurements so feel
free to feel free to of course pause the video check out the upload speed and if there are any
significant changes in upload speed i'll also point that out when uh necessary but to save time
i've got i've went ahead and kind of tested the percentage uh and measured it really uh with the
download speed so this is my speed without the vpn so it's at 5.70 megabits per second
of course take these tests with a grain of salt give or take about 10 to 20 percent difference uh
with each test it could really just change every time i uh refresh the uh test here the speed test
it'll pick up a new server and it will uh kind of give me different results but this is supposed to
give you a rough idea so that you're able to kind of measure or get just really as i said a rough
idea of what the vpn performs like so let's get straight into it first of all uh i started with
a nearby server which is the pair server and as you can tell we're getting pretty good results
uh usually a a drop let's say in between 10 to 20 percent is quite good it's considered uh
rather excellent actually now you know uh it's not as quick as nordvpn for example which uh will
actually give you about a five to fifteen percent you know in between 5 and 15 sometimes 5 to 20
percent drops in speed but with expressvpn uh it's still quick but as i said uh differences between
10 to 20 percent in this case 21 21.2 uh is still uh quite acceptable and not well it is excellent
not just acceptable uh a lot of vpns actually you know drop your speed down to 40 50 percent
the cool thing about expressvpn and this is why i'm testing i want to show you guys that even when
testing various servers across the globe no matter how far they are the cool thing about expressvpn
is how consistent the speed is so it may not be the quickest vpn or as quick as nordvpn in fact
expressvpn is known for how quick it is just not as quick as the quickest vpn on the market which
is nordvpn using their true wireguard protocol of course if i didn't mention the wireguard the
protocol i'm using here is the lightweight udp protocol it's not a wireguard protocol but it is
a it's expressvpn's proprietary protocol which is supposed to be the best performing protocol
so that it is out of the way let's go ahead and move on to the next server so that'll be the new
york server and if you noticed we actually got a bit of a an increase in speed here so
instead of a 21.2 drop here we've got a 19.2 percent drop so this is where expressvpn comes
in just just show you how consistent they are uh with speeds no matter which server you're
using now naturally in in regular cases you would see a massive drop between a server that
is within your own continent and another server that's in a whole other continent
across the oceans but with expressvpn you are much more likely let's say eight to nine out of ten
to actually get uh very consistent speeds that are not much further um not much farther away from
your uh regular speeds here with regular servers or nearby servers excuse me so uh again 19.2
with the new york server which is quite a bit far away from me i'm within the european region
uh and now moving on to the uh south korean server here so with the south korean server
we got a uh 25 drop now naturally you know south korea is even further from new york so
it's very far away but we're still you know within the 20 percent here within the 20 region 25
kind of uh threshold which makes sense you know usually you would see drops up to 30
to 40 with far away servers but we're still seeing the consistency here with expressvpn
next up we've got the brazilian server which is if you notice we got even better results at 4.75
which is a 16.666 percent that's an interesting number so 16.7 roughly uh with the brazilian
server again brazil is quite a bit far away and i'm within the european region
so uh yeah this is just this goes to show how expressvpn is very consistent with
their connection speeds no matter the servers and regarding upload speed i think the best upload
speed i go with new york uh yeah it is the best upload speed i got it is with the new york server
so yeah and don't look at the ping because ping will be affected by distance you know it's uh
there's no way around that no matter how good the server is the further the distance the worse
the pings so uh yeah don't take that as a measurement so take only the download speed
i think that'll be the uh best indicator of the express if expressvpn's performance so that'll be
it for this video again if you guys are interested in expressvpn you'll find links to special deals
and discounts in the description down below as well as a full in-depth review that'll give
