Mine is the opposite with vpn's. My network plan is 300mbps download, 20mbps upload
This is on a VPN.
Without a VPN.
Looks good from my perspective….. more than 40 times faster then what I am paying about $20 a month for. Neither phone line nor WiFi service to my apartment, so I am using supposedly 3G mobile broad band.

Where are you in Thailand?
I spent three months this winter there, we visited every bigger city from Chiang Mai in north to Krabi, and all the islands, on both coasts. Even small one like koh phi phi and koh Tao had ok Internet, I was actually surprised, I expected worse.
And btw I kind of fell in love with Thailand, I'll come back, and will stay longer, maybe move and live there for some time..
I came back few weeks ago, miss it so much

To be fair though, 8 Mbps download isn't too bad. However, the price is RIDICULOUS. I'm not paying the bill, so I don't know exactly how much it costs, but I'm pretty sure it's around 50-60$. Of course, Canada is a very monopolistic country (especially Quebec), so things like Internet and Mobile cost a huge ton of money. Plus, it's a very developed country, so they have no excuse of offering such slow connection. I have also been to Israel for a while, and the Internet is super cheap, I think a 100 Mbps internet costs around 40$ at most.
They keep bumping up my speed, but I never have to pay more for it. I've gone from 15 down/5 up to 35 down/15 up and it's still the same price.
Remember just a few years ago that was considered lighting fast
