Random question....do the speedtests test the VPN location you are on? I ran the test and it shows the VPN IP. I should be on ATT fiber optics, so not sure the difference I would see going this Hyper GIG. I have my ethernet connected, which I'm not really sure its much better than going WI-FI sometimes.

Anywho....sounds fun to be a gigzillionaire.

ETA - To add #s as I'm not sure which is legit.

SpeedTest.com:

Ping = 48ms
Download = 447.85 Mbps
Upload = 218.57 Mbps

On ATT site (which says it uses SpeedTest) :

Ping = 47ms
Jitter = 200ms
Download = 203.8 Mbps
Upload = 117.5 Mbps

If the speedtest site is showing your VPN IP and not your home IP address, then it is testing the speed along the entire path SpeedTest -> VPN servers -> you. Whatever the weakest link is along that path will determine your speed test results.

I use a VPN that gives me my max 1 Gbps speed even when using it.

Around 900 Mbps download and 900 Mbps upload.

There is only one VPN I found that will do this thankfully! :)
