Ok, Josh here we go, focus. Speed. I am Speed. All of these VPNs are losers. I eat losers for
breakfast. Ok Josh, stay focused Speed. Faster than fast, quicker than quick,
who’s the fastest VPN of them all?
This… VPN…is…lightning!
You wanna go fast?
What’s up guys and welcome to The Cyber Lab, the place to be for all things
cybersecurity. In today’s video, we’re going to be covering the top 5 *fastest* VPNs in 2022.
Now, why is speed important?
Well unless you enjoy watching online videos like this:
Speed is pretty important. But here’s the thing about VPNs, they actually slow your computer down.
But don’t worry my friends, because I’ve got 5 VPNs that are actually fast. But before we
get into the nitty and the gritty, why not share your experience with VPNs in the comments? Which
ones have you found to be too slow? Which ones were surprisingly fast? Tell me all about it!
Now the reason why VPNs slow our computers down is that the VPN has to travel to another server
in another country and then back to your computer through its encryption process.
So how do you define a fast VPN? In my opinion,
a fast VPN is one that allows me to game without the dreaded lag,
stream without the dreaded buffer, and download without my hair turning gray in the process.
For this video, I put a number of VPNs through their paces in
terms of speed and these 5 are the ones that came out on top.
Surfshark, NordVPN, Private Internet Access, Express VPN and Cyberghost. You
can find discount links for all the VPNs we’ve mentioned in this video in our description box.
Now I’ve tested these VPNs in terms of Torrenting, Gaming, Streaming, and Overall Speed and these 5
turned out to be the fastest. So let’s do a quick breakdown of each and discuss the price as well.
In 5th Place we have Surfshark It’s rare for Surfshark to end up in 5th place,
to be honest, this is a VPN that usually makes it to the top spot in our videos. Surfshark is
pretty decent but in terms of speed, there are faster VPNs out there (at least for the
moment). When we ran the tests Surfshark came back at an average of 60 megabits per second,
not terrible by any means, but not awesome either. The average download was around 60mbps
while uploads averaged around 30mpbs. Surf Shark is still a great choice for streaming and gaming,
but a little on the slower side if you do a lot of torrenting. Personally, this VPN
is still my overall top pick, but in terms of speed, it's lagging a little behind right now.
So let’s talk about price. Surf Shark offers a great 2-year plan
for just $2.30 per month. All of their plans include unlimited connections,
which is what makes Surf Shark a really popular choice today.
Moving on to 4th Place and we have NordVPN Similar to Surf Shark when we ran the tests
NordVPN came back at a modest 60 megabits per second for average speeds. The main difference
between this VPN and surf shark is that we found NordVPN to be excellent for torrenting,
okay for streaming, and pretty good for gaming. Download speeds averaged faster at 70mbps while
uploads were around 42mbps.NordVPN is a totally decent option and offers a lot of additional
features as does Surfshark, but there are still faster VPNs out there at the moment.
In terms of their current pricing, you can get NordVPN for $3.49 per
month on their 2-year plan. They also offer a 30-day money-back guarantee.
In 3rd Place, we have Private Internet Access
According to our tests, Private Internet Access came in at a speedy 80 megabits per second,
outstripping both NordVPN and Surf Shark considerably. Downloads averaged 92mbps
while uploads were slower at 68 Mbps. When we put Private Internet Access through its paces
we found that the speed was excellent for gamers and very good for both streaming and torrenting.
Private Internet Access comes with all the standard features we’ve come to expect in a VPN,
a killswitch feature, no logging policy, and connection to up to 10 devices simultaneously.
That being said, they do hit you in the wallet for their service. A whopping
$15 for a monthly plan, but it does get cheaper the longer you commit. A 3-year
plan will give you 3 free months and costs just over $2 per month.
Now before I go into my top 2 fastest VPNs for 2022, I just want to mention if you are interested
in purchasing any of these VPN services, be sure to do so through the links in the description box
of this video. This will give you the best price for the service and keep me in a job. Win-win!
Alright so in 2nd Place we have ExpressVPN
ExpressVPN also impressed us with its speed this month, averaging 80 megabits
per second. The average download speed came in at 108 Mbps with uploads averaging 105mbps. We
found it to be a great choice for torrenting and pretty impressive in terms of gaming and
streaming as well. What I love about ExpressVPN is that it’s so easy to use.
And with its 30-day money-back guarantee, you can give it a try for a whole month risk-free.
In terms of price, again this VPN is a little more on the expensive
side setting you back $12.95 for a monthly plan but if you opt-in
for a yearly plan that price drops down to $6.67 per month plus you get 3 months free.
And finally, it’s time to announce our top pick. The speediest of the
speediest. The quickest of the quick. One VPN to rule them all…
If you’ve got a need for speed… If you want a VPN as fast as lightning…
Then Cyberghost is the VPN for you!
That’s right folks, during our recent speed tests Cyberghost outstripped them all. At
98 megabits per second, this VPN is the speediest speed demon right now and is
showing no signs of slowing down! It got perfect scores in our recent speed tests for torrenting,
streaming, and gaming. When it came to downloading speeds,
Cyberghost clocked in at 103 Mbps and for uploads, it was around 60 Mbps.
If you opt for their 3-year plan you’ll pay
just $2.37 per month and you’ll get another 3 months for free.
So there you have it folks, these are the top 5 VPNs available right now in terms of SPEED.
Of course, while speed is a major contributing factor to which service provider you go with,
you’ll also want to take into consideration the company's reputation, privacy policies,
and other features. To dig a little deeper into any of the VPNs mentioned in this video,
