The popular VPN services promote thousands of locations, is that really important? No…
The reviews you read will say that it improves speed, but that’s mostly false. Try finding a server that’s not full of free users or users abusing bandwidth. The architectures on some of the popular vpn’s are built as cheaply as possible, add a server in Chicago for $5 then add another and another so that, THOSE servers get extra bandwidth. This is a dicey strategy at best and only works for their marketing teams, not their users.
Be cautious of what you see, a million VPN servers doesn’t mean you’ll have a quality service.
