Using a VPN will actually increase the data usage a bit. It wraps all of your in/outbound traffic to tunnel it through your VPN endpoint.
He might think hes getting throttled but his speeds will always decrease using a VPN

OP has no idea what this means, and to what extent.
TCP is slower than UDP. What good does this do the layman? How much slower? Why? Does it matter?
Using a VPN which may decrease throughput by a couple of percentage points (due to every "packet of information" needing to have encryption stuff added to the front and back end of it, which isn't much) and increased latency means nothing to anyone but a few of us.
Nearly everyone's Outlook connection to their work email is encrypted regardless of using a VPN or not, and a lot of people that have to use Mobile Device Management Software (MDM) are already using on-demand VPNs, which obody notices. Your boss still gets on your arse in seconds. OP, when your phone asked your permission to install a "profile" it was generally installing a VPN already. These aren't the days of L2TP and crap from WinNT/Win2000, the right VPN is fine as long as you're not trying to play first person shooters from a server in Australia while you're based on Georgia.
