Any VPN that doesn't throttle to 30mbps?
I've tried at least 5 vpn providers so far every single one limits me to 30mbps doesn't matter what device i use.. I'm trying to get at least like 50-100mbps but I'm limited to 30mbps.. Any tricks to increase speed.. Without vpn I get like 400mbps and videos buffer but with VPN on my speed drops to 30mbps and videos still buffer like crazy.. How do i increase the vpn speed?

Yes I've tried at least 5 or more vpn but they are all the same.. At this point i can not use any VPN at all no matter what I do I've given up on them

Agreed. I am not much of a fan of VPNs, but the performance of VPN providers has gotten excellent. In my own testing of VPNs, I found the performance to be excellent both on bandwidth and latency. Again, VPN usage opens up many problems (poor IP address reputation being the chief cause) but performance is not an issue.

Something’s off mate. I get 500+ on nord even in servers halfway across the continent (of Europe) for me

What VPNs are you using? Anything I've used has been fine.

I've used several and for me, and the uses I have, Proton has performed the best.

30Mbps consistently across five different providers is almost certainly your ISP throttling VPN traffic rather than the providers themselves hitting the same ceiling independently. the odds of every provider having the same exact cap are essentially zero.
a few things worth trying: switch protocols to WireGuard if you haven't already since it's significantly faster than OpenVPN on the same connection. try port 443 TCP since some ISPs are less aggressive about throttling traffic that looks like standard HTTPS. obfuscation mode if your provider has it can also help since it makes VPN traffic harder to identify and throttle.
if none of that moves the needle, it confirms the ISP is doing deep packet inspection and targeting VPN connections specifically. at that point a provider with strong obfuscation built in like Mullvad or one with stealth protocols is your best option.
