Avast SecureLine - too slow to be usable!

Helo everyone!

Think two times before you buy Avast SecureLine - it is to slow to be usable. For example when connecting to Chicago you will be unable to reach CNN - it takes ages for page to load. I have similar times on other settings.

Its joke not VPN solution!

I have VDSL+ connection…

Have you tried one of the other available vpn servers in SecureLine ?

There are other possible explanations to the slow service, like high traffic time on that particular server, ISP issues and website availability just to mention a couple.
I’ve used many VPN’s over the years and have not noticed any ‘overly’ lengthy connection or service times with Avast VPN lately.
As Eddy suggested, try one of the other numerous server possibilities.

I have tried all US servers - almost the same times. I have to search for other VPN solution - any suggestions?

There was no ISP problems - i have tested speeds without VPN.

Why not tried a server outside the US ?
