how's it going everybody welcome back and today we're going to be taking a look at the
fastest of these vpns we're going to see which one is the fastest now of course if you didn't
know these are my top three vpns so if you guys are interested in learning more about
these vpns you'll find individual reviews in the description down below as well as a top three
video which will just include uh everything in one video if you guys are interested you also find
links to special deals and discounts if you're uh interested in getting yourself a subscription so
you know these vpns are very well known really for not just for their speed but for their reliability
their streaming and torrenting capabilities uh just generally security no logs policy they're
very solid vpns which is why they're at my top three list now before i show you guys the
results just want to make sure that i'm using the lightweight udp protocol for expressvpn these are
the best performing protocols by the way it's what i would definitely use every time i use these vpns
that'll be the nord links protocol with nordvpn and finally the wireguard protocol with surfshark
so with that being said just so that you know my download speed i'm not that's what i'm going
to be measuring by the way uh feel free to pause the video and take a look at the upload speed but
for the most part generally speaking people do care more about the download speed rather
than the upload speed uh but feel free to pause the video and take a look at the upload speed
but here's my download speed without a vpn which is nothing impressive of course so you know i
would appreciate it if these vpns did not decrease my speed by a whole lot and generally these vpns
will maintain a speed decrease in between 10 and 20 which is very much excellent really
most vpns will struggle to keep the drop below 10 so let's go ahead and take a look at the results
so uh the download speed without a vpn is at 5.77 megabits per second when testing by the
way i tested all the same servers so the first set of tests uh or the the first set of results you'll
be seeing is by testing uh the french server the paris server in all uh the vpns expressvpn vpn and
surfshark and then i went ahead and tested the new york server in all of these vpns as you can
tell these are the two recent servers in all the vpns so that's pretty much what i tested
so starting off with expressvpn on the pairs server i got a 4.98 megabits per second
uh which will be a 13.7 roughly a decrease in speed uh nothing too bad the upload speed is
still superb um so moving on to the nord vpn speed result speed test i got a 5.50 megabits per second
uh result here with a 10.7 decrease in speed uh now of course this is very well known nordvpn
is well known for being the fastest vpn in the industry and it only makes sense that the north
lynx protocol which is a true wire guard protocol is faster than expressvpn's proprietary protocol
called lightweight vpn lightweight udp which is uh not exactly a wire guard protocol but it
performs a very well still um so okay moving on we've got just just for starters so we've got um
13.6 uh percent decrease with uh expressvpn or 13.7 uh a 10.7 decrease so that's a three percent
uh difference and then with wire guard we got a 4.75 megabits per second even though
uh the wire guard protocol in surf shark is pretty good um but it doesn't seem to be catching up to
the lightweight udp protocol despite the surf shark protocol being a wireguard protocol but
notice that the upload speed is actually excellent um unlike uh the upload speed here with nordvpn
it seems uh to have dropped a little bit uh very similar to express but it seems like
surf shark has the lead and upload speed but is behind on a download speed so that'll be a 17.6
decrease in uh download speed it may not seem like a big deal here but uh when
you have speeds as low as mine you don't really want any more decrease in speed as
much more any more than 20 percent will uh start to be a little bit more noticeable um
so of course when you have higher speeds you're less likely to notice i mean if you have let's say
a speed of 80 megabits per second are you really going to be able to tell the difference when it's
at 60 megabits per second um it's the both speeds are very quick and uh you're you're probably not
gonna be able to tell the difference uh unless you're you have a very keen eye now moving on to
the next set of results with the new york server uh you can see the consistency here with um
expressvpn i believe this is yeah this is the same exact download speed and this is something
that's known about expressvpn is that you know no matter your location or whatever server
you're connecting to you'll be able to maintain very good speeds uh and that's of course thanks
to the quality of servers uh with expressvpn and their physical servers of course most of them are
physical servers and uh that'll be of course the same a 13.7 decrease in speed and with regards to
upload suite it did take a little bit of a hit of course the distance will make the difference here
uh moving on to nord vpn we've got uh slower which is very interesting
uh slightly slower speeds here at 4.9 megabits per second the upload speed is a little bit better
uh and uh well never mind the ping it's definitely going to be worse thanks to the
great distance but overall um it it seems like yeah this this definitely factors in uh the
quality of servers not just the protocol uh so not that big of a difference honestly i mean 14.9
uh that's you know less less than a two percent difference so not a very
um noticeable let's say and then you've got surf shark with 4.67 so overall i think when it comes
to speed it's safe to say that nordvpn is the fastest uh vpn and by the way this is a nearly 20
so 19 so still maintaining that uh below 20 uh consistency with these vpns
pretty good speeds overall now of course do keep in mind that uh every speed test will vary so if
i go ahead now and refresh all of these speed tests i will be getting different results so i
want you to take these tests with a grain of salt i would say these tests are about 80 to 85 percent
accurate because you know with ulcla specifically and almost every single uh speed tester out there
every time you refresh the speed test you're going to get a slightly different result
uh but this is a good indicator though of which vpn is faster than uh the other uh so you know
in in terms of which vpn is faster sure this is you could say this is a 90 95 accurate um a set of
results but with regards to the speeds themselves you know if i if i let's say i don't know even my
original speed right if i just give it another go here it'll probably give me 5.8 5.6 5.5 5.9 so you
know just keep that in mind that every speed test is a little bit different and you might be getting
slightly different results uh here and there but this is a good representation of the performance
of these vpns overall so you can definitely at least take that from uh this speed test if you
were wondering which of these is actually faster so that'll be it for this video again if you guys
are interested in learning more about express and order surf shark you'll find links to the reviews
as well as the top three video uh it'll give you more of an in-depth look into the privacy
policies speed streaming taunting capabilities as well security and features you also find links to
special deals and discounts so feel free to take advantage of those while it lasts besides that
thank you guys very much for watching i'll see you guys in the next one have a wonderful day
