Ping to same server.

If i turn off PIA VPN should be faster probably
normal user probably even 5-10mbps broadband is more than enough. Download is way faster than last time where you had to wait like half the day to download.
for netflix they recommend 25mbps for their service

anyway with 100mbps dl and 50mbps ul i can do quite a lot of stuff, especially better backup to cloud or stream remotely using plex for my spanky new QNAP ts-877
also easier time to do my youtube game streaming
ran more tests.
QUOTE
i thought PIA can hit 80mbps or more? maybe the server i pick not so good perhaps
turned off vpn then test speedtest new york US, i get this.

i also did the same test as you to same server, but using AC68U RT MERLIN firmware

What is Fast.com measuring?
Fast.com estimates your current internet download speed. You will generally be able to get this speed from leading internet services, which use globally distributed servers.
Why does Fast.com only report on download speed?
Download speed is most relevant for people who are consuming content on the internet, and we want Fast.com to be a very simple and fast speed test.
Why does Fast.com not report on ping, latency, jitter and other things?
Fast.com is a simple-to-use way for consumers to test what speed their ISP is providing. It is not a network engineer's analysis and diagnostic speed test suite.
How is the download speed calculated?
To calculate the download speed, Fast.com performs a series of downloads from Netflix servers.
