Your ISP might be throttling specific traffic types or routes. Streaming services and gaming can be intentionally slowed during peak hours.
Free proxies often have overloaded servers and bandwidth limitations. They may route your traffic through distant locations, increasing latency.
Your data traveling from your device to websites is like a road trip. Your ISP provides what might be a congested, traffic-light-filled country road. Unblockium's premium network is like a private, unlimited-speed superhighway.
We use globally optimized servers to find the fastest, most direct path for your data, often bypassing ISP throttling and routing inefficiencies.
Common questions about internet speed testing and performance optimization
Netflix recommends 25 Mbps for 4K Ultra HD streaming. However, having 35-50 Mbps provides better buffer and quality consistency, especially if other devices share your connection.
For competitive gaming, aim for ping under 20ms. 20-50ms is acceptable for most games, while over 100ms may cause noticeable lag. Learn more about gaming optimization.
Not always. A high-quality proxy can bypass ISP throttling and provide more stable connections, but it may add slight latency. The benefit depends on your ISP policies and the proxy server quality and location.
