FYI - The speed issues with VPNs are:
1. The security protocols required can't be used in conjunction with the TCP/Web Acceleration techniques being used, so everything basically works at the uncompressed channel rate.
2. There's a lot of handshaking going on, so take your normal 600mS ping rate and basically multiply it for each packet.
As usual, the severity of how slow it can be is generally geometrically proportional to the level of congestion. If you want to get an idea of just how slow and irregular it can be, ssh into a server and try to type commands... it becomes predictive typing waiting for the echo after a while. lol
I think you misunderstood my comment about using VPN. I said using VPN worked better than without, not the other way around.
The reason for this is that the throttling HughesNet imposes based upon sites and content is circumvented when using a VPN.
