Colin Nederkoorn, a Verizon customer frustrated, published a great article and video showing how VyprVPN which allowed him to get faster speeds 10x on Netflix. Thousands of users responded, and many wonder how a VPN actually increases speeds. Recently, we published an infographic that explains the "peering problem" in more detail: http://www.goldenfrog.com/take-back-your-internet/infographics/the-netflix-comcast-peering-problem.
The fact is, more and more VyprVPN users inside and outside of the United States tell us that their speeds actually increase when using VyprVPN. VyprVPN users are effectively using them as "Virtual ISP" for faster speeds, but they also get security and privacy because of the encrypted connection.
Common sense says that the speeds are inherently slow because of the encryption overhead, but it is currently at the network layer to explain the increased speed. We are the only VPN provider that does not servers, and the network to "rent" hosting providers, etc. We own and operate our own server infrastructure and manage our own network. Running your own network means that we control the router and can choose congested roads to our users. It seems that Verizon willfully ignores congestion and complaints arising clients.
Netflix is probably uses Level3 or Cogent to go to Verizon. If these links are saturated (reports are that they are), then the performance will suffer through them because the pipe is not big enough for all the bits that need to go through it. Golden Frog uses other backbone providers to get to Verizon, so we do not go through these congested links. Our Verizon paths are congested. When the author uses VyprVPN for watching Netflix, it avoids the congested links and get as much bandwidth it needs.
The heart of the problem is the serious lack of competition in the United States. As we said in comments to the FCC as a member of the i2Coalition:
"The most effective way for the Commission to protect and promote the open Internet is to implement Open Access reclassifying broadband transmission component as a telecommunications service Title II. proposed rules Net neutrality of the NPRM are trying to mitigate the effects of a last mile noncompetitive regulating broadband access, but access strikes open the heart of the problem by opening the network to robust competition. Open Access would bring competition to the Internet access market and consumer choice would be the first guarantee against abusive and discriminatory network practices. "
We are also filing comments with the FCC today on behalf of Golden Frog and is currently evaluating whether to include Colin Nederkoorn "s issue Verizon as part of our filing of the FCC Thanks Colin
We recommend all Golden Frog users to file their own personal comments to the FCC about open access by the end of the deadline today http:.!. / /www.fcc.gov/comments
