Best Internet speed with and without AVG VPN?

AVG VPN seems to be taking a very large bite out of my Internet downloading speed. My 'fastest' AVG VPN Internet location is over 70% slower than my speed without VPN activated. This is a big reduction relative to what I experienced with my prior VPN provider. I am going to check with the tech desk, but I am interested in other users experience with AVG VPN. Perhaps someone has a few tips on how I can squeeze a faster hookup?  Thanks!

Hi Harry,

We apologize for the inconvenience.
You may experience a slower internet connection when using AVG Secure VPN. This is because a VPN encrypts traffic and data before sending it to a server. Depending on the distance and capacity of the server, this process may cause a slightly slower, but safer, internet connection.
Please try connecting to one of the P2P servers available in the AVG Secure VPN & check if the issue persists.
Thank you for understanding in advance!
