I've had ProtonVPN for 3 years now and I have 0 complaints.

It's the only VPN I've ever used that doesn't have less bandwidth on VPN than off. I regularly saturate my gigabit connection for hours at a time with 0 issues or throttling, and tunnel my torrent client's traffic through it 24/7. It also allows me to watch 4k content on mobile data without throttling and circumvent my phone provider's restrictions on hotspot/tethering that they want me to pay $30/month to remove.

Best $5/month I've ever spent.

I had no idea you could use a VPN to circumvent mobile data throttling. Fucking amazing info, mate.

If you can, it's actually a bad thing because it means the Telco is violating net neutrality by picking and choosing certain traffic to zero-rate.

Not all countries are lucky enough to have net neutrality...

It violates the principle and is therefore a bad thing regardless of what the law is.
