Wi-Fi Speeds with VPN after upgrading

[DanC999]

I recently upgraded from 500Mbps fibre to 900Mbps Fibre. Previously before the upgrade when using my phone on Wi-Fi while connected to NordVPN I would get about 300Mbps download speed, which is fine I accept the use of a VPN will cause the speed to be slower than the 'full' speed. However since the upgrade my speed on Wi-Fi has stayed around the same. I have tested on my computer which is hardwired and get pretty much the correct speed (900Mbps) with or without a VPN.

As i've said I accept use of VPN on my phone will drop in speed slightly but over 50% drop does seem too much. I've tested without the VPN on my phone and get the full speed. I am using wireguard protocol, and live in a 1 bed flat so never too far from the router.

Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions, or has had this problem themselves?

Hi @DanC999 

Tried connecting to a different VPN server.  This doesn't sound like an EE issue.

Thanks

Points to VPN being the culprit.

Yeah, it does seem most likely, just found it strange that with the same vpn on my computer I had no issues
