Keep in mind a VPN adds to the route your traffic would normally take so it will have an impact on your speed. Some VPN providers are better than others and have plenty of bandwidth to serve their users so the impact is fairly small. Others oversell their service and the impact can be anywhere from not too bad to downright debilitating.
