  • Hello! Thank you for the information. I have tested the Us California server and it seems to be running well. you should expect to see a drop in speeds from the rate you saw when you ran the tests above; typically about a 30-60% drop. However, depending on local conditions and the ISPs your traffic traverses, you may see a more significant reduction, sometimes up to 70%. 

    However, have you tried the following? If so, which steps assisted in regaining seeds?:

    - change servers
    - change ports and protocols (tcp/udp)
    - clear cache and cookies in the browser
    - changed browsers to see if one is faster
    - performed a clean uninstall/reinstall
    (uninstalling, rebooting, then reinstalling a fresh copy)
    - logged out of the application and reboot the device
    (then logged back in to try and connect successfully)

    - try our Browser Extensions

    - try our PIA OpenVPN

    - enable the 'Use Small Packets' setting in the app

  • Yeah, I did a couple of those and there was no change. Probably on my end (Cox). Thanks for the suggestions.

    Hi, thanks for the suggestions I will try.
  • It is fine now. It was, indeed, Cox.
