VPNs are a must for people who stream content online people who want to access
geo locked content like UK or USA Netflix or just people that want to
protect their privacy especially when accessing public Wi-Fi the problem is
that there are so many different companies and deals it can be hard for a
new VPN user to make a decision on which VPN to actually go with luckily for me
the VPN companies offer me free accounts to promote their services so I've
decided to put them to the test and give you guys the answers on which is the
fastest or best value VPN right now and of course if you want information on a
VPN not included in this video please comment down in the comments below and
I'll include it in the next video but all VPNs included in my tests are
available globally they've all got easy to use applications for all the popular
platforms such as Windows Android Mac iOS and Linux
they've all got 0 log policies and the links to the services are all in the
description below but when it comes to VPNs our traffic is being encrypted and
running through a VPN server so we will expect some minor speed loss but we
don't want too much speed loss of course as we want to get the speed we pay for
and of course we do also want to get a good deal my connection speed is
currently about 255 megabits per second I ran each VPN through three speed tests
and each one was tested from the same server which was Virgin Media Bristol
I've got an upload speed of about 20 megabits per second but I'm going to
ignore uploads for these tests as all VPN scored between 18 to 20 megabits
per second so it wasn't really an issue so first up we've got my current
favorite IP vanish in the speed test we had two hundred and forty six point six
nine for test one two hundred and fifty point six four for test two and 252.55
in test three this was actually the fastest of all the VPNs I tested coming
in with an average download speed of 250 megabits per second which is actually
98% of my normal connection speed next up we've got Nord VPN another favorite
of mine but it doesn't seem to perform as well as ipvanish for me at the moment
but still came out with reasonable scores we've got test one at two hundred
and fourteen point three seven test two at two hundred and fifteen point nine
eight and test three at 221 giving us an average download speed of 217 megabits
per second which is 85% of my connection next we've got purevpn which actually
turned out to be much slower with 148 point seven six for test one 142 point
one for test two and 152 point nine one for test three which was an average
speed of a hundred and forty eight giving me only 58% of my connection it
is worth noting though that ipvanish and Nord VPN do own their own infrastructure
where purevpn and the others use rented servers so it could explain the lower
scores next up we've got IVC VPN which was actually the slowest of all of the
VPNs I tested test one it scored a hundred and ten point three eight test
two was a hundred and fourteen point eight seven and test three was a hundred
and five point five one giving me an average score of a hundred and ten
megabits per second which is 43 percent of my connection again Iver C uses
rented servers and they don't own their own infrastructure finally we've got
cyber ghost which scored one hundred and fourteen point nine eight on test one a
hundred and twenty point seven seven on test two and a hundred and fifteen point
six three on test three giving me an average speed of a hundred and seventeen
megabits per second which is 46 percent of my connection again soy burgers rent
their servers are but it is worth pointing out that they have better
pricing in some instances making them a suitable choice for people with slower
connections so now we know which perform the best it's time to deal with the
pricing all companies offer different pricing strategies and the longer you
sign up for the cheaper you get the deal it's also worth noting that the VPN
industry is reasonably dirty in terms of advertising and they often leave each
other bad reviews as well as many influencers paid to say certain VPNs are
the best so today we're focusing solely on the facts so these are based on the
prices available today so for those of you they
only want to sign up monthly the only real option is ipvanish
it's the fastest in the tests and also the cheapest oversea VPN is actually
five cents cheaper a month but you also get less than half of the speed so it's
really not worth that five cent saving ipvanish also offer a three month plan
for those who want to save a little more for those who want to sign up for twelve
months I would say there are two real options right now we've got ipvanish for
those of you with fast connections is it's cheaper than Nord and of course
faster in these tests for those of you that have about a hundred megabits per
second connections or less then cyberghost
is probably the best choice is they offer six months free giving you
eighteen months for the price of twelve and it works out much cheaper than
either C or purevpn for those of you that want to sign up for two years that
the best option at the moment for people with faster connections is Nord VPN
ipvanish don't offer a two-year plan currently and Nord works out at a good
value for those of you with slower connections the obvious choice here is
cyberghost both oversea and cyber goats are the cheapest two-year plan but
cyberghost is the better VPN as I said the links to all these services are down
in the description below for anyone that wants to take a look they all offer
their services globally and have applications available on all platform
I'm hoping this video has helped you enough to make an informed decision on
what VPN is right for you but of course if you confused about anything or want
to know more simply ask down in the comments and I'll get back to you as
soon as I can and as I said if there's a VPN that you want included in the next
test please request that down in the comments as well but as always thank you
