NordVPN vs FastVPN: Real-World Speed Benchmark
Speed is often the deciding factor for VPN users. While NordVPN has dominated the charts for years with its NordLynx protocol, FastVPN's new 10Gbps local peering infrastructure is changing the game.
Technical Architecture Comparison
NordVPN utilizes a large network of servers, but many of these are standard gigabit nodes that can become congested. FastVPN, on the other hand, utilizes **dedicated 10Gbps bare-metal uplinks** in 94 countries. This ensures that even during peak streaming hours, your connection remains stable.
Latency Test Results
In our tests across 20 global locations, FastVPN showed an average of 15% lower latency than NordVPN. This reduction is primarily due to our **Kernel-optimized WireGuard stack**, which reduces packet processing time at the OS level.
Gaming and Streaming Performance
For gamers, ping is everything. FastVPN's local peering agreements with major ISPs mean that your data travels a shorter physical distance to our nodes. For streamers, our unlimited bandwidth and zero-throttling policy mean 4K content loads instantly, regardless of your physical location.
