Hi,

i was wondering, can you get faster uplink and download speed by rerouting your Internet traffic through a VPN?

This is the test results, both personal and VPN's.

Although the VPN's download is slower, we know that Starhub's speed for local is not realistic since someone mentioned the speedtest site was one of their partner(boosted speed) site. Plus for instance, it's almost impossible to access Restaurant City in facebook from Starhub

Im not sure if you can get higher upload link(as seen above) because im uncertain about the nature of VPN internet and whether i can actually exceed my isp speed cap.
