[QUOTE="SpiderWeb, post: 913687, member: 88686"] Today I tested Google One VPN btw. Here are my findings on a 1 Gbps Internet connection: -The highest ping ever. Usual ping: 2-7ms. Google One: 70 ms -Okay bandwidth: Slower than the competition and by design throttled heavily. It is nice to see "Google LLC" but that's it. My connection is usually 800 Mbps, 400 Mbps WiFi. With Google One it drops to around 30-60 Mbps download, 150 Mbps upload. So someone is intentionally throttling the max download speed at the moment. -Does not connect to the nearest server as advertised. It connected to Mountain View, CA (Northern California).
