I have been using free trial Getflix for the last 2 weeks, and found that no matter what server location I set my DNS to, the performance was rather poor for Netflix as well as NBC SN.
I have a 8Mbps streamyx line.
At most, I'm streaming at around 2Mbps to 2.5Mbps.
When I switch to a paid VPN (VPN Asia), it performed a bit better at close to 4Mbps. But VPN is not working with many other streaming providers, such as Netflix, Fox sports and etc.
So, I was thinking of whether the paid Getflix service will be better? Or any other smart DNS which I can try?

You use VPN.Asia? I've tested my 100Mbps Unifi on IPVanish server located on Singapore and speedtest got me around 95Mbps.
For Netflix I mostly use either ExpressVPN, NordVPN and IPVanish. I do recommend the bolded for Netflix.

Yes, I use VPN.Asia, my speeds from US based servers returning around 4Mbps for me.

I'd imagine if i lost 60% of my total bandwidth from 8mb, like what you lost from your time 100mbps connection, it'd be like 3mbps as what I'm experiencing and complaining...!,😚😂
