Someplace along the way I had to change IKE2 protocol to OpenVPN TCP or WIreGuard. Proton VPN, free version, worked fine, but ping was in the 200s. Why the VPN – in case of doing any banking, like paying bills and helps to keep things more secure. Via RCN in the DC area: ping 11 ms, 52 / 11 mbps, jitter 4.8 and 0.35% packet loss via speedtest multi. Speeds even from the same cities varied by 300%. Ping tended to be higher with farther distance from 30-200. Uploads were very variable from 0.3 to 25 ! When testing locations around the planet via SurfShark VPN from 5-8pm, there were huge differences. I found that my speeds were variably slow even without VPN.
