Slowdowns are natural for any VPN because the signal needs to travel more - from you to the VPN server, and then to the data you request. The closer you are to the VPN server, the shorter is the way, and the lower is the speed loss. So please use the countries nearest to yours, and you will have the highest speed possible. Also, Premium servers are much faster in general. We have a 7-day money-back guarantee, so you can try Premium risk-free.
