2 | Control 1 | 13ms | 913.66 | 41.66 | A note about Disney+: Disney+ performed poorly on every VPN. In every instance, it did not give an error message saying "disconnect from your VPN or proxy" like streaming services typically do, the page simply did not load. I think half it it was the website being buggy/unstable because it's a new platform, so take those results with a grain of salt. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

100 | Update: As of the writing of this comment, Windscribe has their 2.0 version in beta. It brings support for the WireGuard protocol, and when I tested this, I saw consistent speeds of around 400-500Mbps down on both Mac and Windows. This puts the speeds right in line with Surfshark and ExpressVPN, so that makes Windscribe a great pick for a streaming VPN, especially on a budget. |
