That's odd, I'm in London/UK and when I use Mullvad's London servers I can usually nearly max out a Gbit connection.

Interesting... maybe I should try again. I didn't have much luck on Virgin.

Some ISPs will throttle "looks like VPN traffic" on non-business lines. On the basis that VPN use is (apparently) a business thing.

Doesn't make much sense, but there's a lot of weird behaviour in the UK ISP business.

And as for what counts as "looks like VPN", I suspect they're just looking for GRE packets.
