How can a VPN make your internet go faster...? I'm little confused.
You can't go faster than what your ISP set for you... or can you?
Nope, but if the servers the VPN provider got is on some really good lines and have no limitations out. You can get a somewhat increased speed. But it wont go faster than the ISP cap. Obviously.
Also, free/open/public VPN's and proxy providers.. I've said it before. You are not secure, you are not anonymous. Actually, its better to use your home connection instead for being secure and anonymous. Its probably easier for police or other law enforcement personnel to ask the VPN or proxy provider for info than your ISP.
