For those people shopping for a VPN here is a comparison table I found -


Sorry, nothing wrong with discussing VPNs or comparing them, but the title mention explicitly states it's for piracy which we don't condone.
 
Awesome! Looks like its just the ticket for people in the market like me. Im still learning up about them though - whats the best from a security and anonymous perspective? I hear AirVPN is the one with their jurisdictions etc

If you look at the thanks section it specifically states r/vpn and r/privacy along with two users as being sources of information.

I have dealt with 3 of the companies mentioned, two for 'lifetime' subscriptions and one with a heavily discounted subscription. I did look at all of them in some detail along with others, this would have been useful at the time, but it's only for making a short list as the answers given sometimes are not the whole story.
 
I've only ever used AirVPN so have nothing to compare them against but I think they are what I need.

They are very serious about the issues of privacy and internet freedom and that's mainly why I use them.

I'm on a Virgin Media 50Mb connection and if I go through a German or Dutch server I can get anywhere between 15Mb and 45Mb of that with an average around 25/30Mb.

If that's on a PC you should be getting near line speed via a wired connection, wifi obviously may differ. If you're only looking to avoid the UK's DNS ban's on certain sites then i've yet to find a VPN provider who is subject to them on it's UK servers (PIA, Pure, Tiger etc.). I've not tested Air, but i'd be surprised if you needed to go outside the UK for that.

He was asking about selecting a VPN, not trying to produce his own table. r/privacy is a hodge-podge of every topic under the sun and not VPN specific. r/vpn is the place he should be going to if he specifically wants to talk about VPNs - which is why I provided the URL.

What part of "That One Privacy Guy's VPN Comparison Chart" states that it's for piracy?

There was mention of P2P in the original linked spreadsheet and so a moderating decision was taken to remove it.

Topics on VPNs can remain, providing they are not linked to, or hinting at Piracy and associated practices.

As discussion is now moving towards VPN Bandwidth and circumvention of DNS blocking - then I'm sure you can agree this is bordering on discussion that isn't appropriate here.

As above.
The title in the spreadsheet might have been a big give-away.

I appreciate discussions in various forums can sometimes walk a fine line and the last thing any of us want is to add to the moderation workload, but i've just searched that spreadsheet using the find function and found zero mentions of piracy. It does mention the throttling of P2P which is a widely used and legitimate protocol like FTP or http. 16 years ago when Napster launched that wasn't the case, but a lot has changed, for starters I can refer to Napster on here as it's a legitimate paid for music service like iTunes or Spotify etc.
