ExpressVPN is popular worldwide for its speed, reliability and security. However, how can you know if it is the most suitable option for you Some free trials also often limit important features such as bandwidth, data traffic, access to the service’s server network and the ability to unblock streaming platforms. However, ExpressVPN has no limitations – you can try the full service for 30 days without restrictions .ExpressVPN has an integrated speed test, but, logically, it is more reliable to analyze a service with an external tool. I used an external speed test to test it and my results revealed that even connecting to a server on the other side of the planet (Australia), my download speed only decreased by 18% – from my original 61.26 Mbps to 51.07 Mbps. It might seem like a significant decrease, but it’s still 10 times the minimum speed required to watch HD streaming. I had no lazy or buffering breaks watching Love Island Australia on 9Now.ExpressVPN’s upload speeds were also very impressive, consistently reaching 17 Mbps in most countries I tried with the exception of Australia, where it dropped to 14.69 Mbps. This is still a considerably fast speed, considering that only 1.2 Mbps is required to make HD video calls through Zoom or Skype.
