Review from Chris on Strong VPN
I purchased a StrongVPN account to provide an additional level of security while gaming and using skype. I was assured by the customer rep, that it would only slow my 80/35 connection a little, if at all. I got the setup email and tech support easily setup my vpn remotely. The first server I tried which is located less than 30 miles from my home gave me speeds of 9/20. I contacted tech support and they showed me how to test speed of another server and then switch to it. This second server provided speeds of 15/30, marginally better than the first. I contacted tech support again, who said it was an ISP issue and that I would either have to change my ISP or try upgrading to their open package for an additional $30. I think this is a bit shady. This is my first experience with a vpn company and it may be my last.
