IPVanish tries to present itself as a “no logs” VPN-provider. With these results IPVanish is definitely one of the fastest VPN services we have tried out so far. This means that the connections for downloading, streaming and regular internet use offer great speeds. Server: Mount Pleasant, region New York (US) Our own connection speed without VPN was around 47 Mbps download, and 53 Mbps upload. When we connected to an American server the loss in speed was a bit bigger (as to be expected), but the connection speed was still fast. This shows that the loss in speed caused by the VPN is minimal. In the Netherlands and Germany we reached download- and upload speeds up to 90% to 95% of our original speed. Here are a few results of download- and upload speeds from our tests. A big advantage of IPVanish is that the program automatically allows you to connect to the fastest server in a certain country or city. Because of this we have tested multiple servers from IPVanish.
One of the most important ones, is the distance to the VPN server. The speed of your VPN connection depends on a few factors. These are just a few of the features of IPVanish, because this provider has even more trump cards.
