I use Nord and I thing the speed is pretty good, it might drop slightly when connected to a very far away location, but in general it’s fine. Other than that the price is more than satisfying.
Thanks for sharing this stuff. I have tested my vpn provider and they are performing good. Although your article is too informational and it really helps me to understand different stuff of a VPN. I also contacted purevpn support to understand few things.
thanks
