You have two basic types of VPNs. PPTP and "full" VPNs like Windscribe. PPTP VPNs tend to be faster because there's less going on and they don't offer as much privacy by way of encryption. "Full" VPNs offer much better encryption and thus privacy but that obviously requires more processing power which can result in slower speeds. That's on top of all the usual things that can cause performance issues with networks the size of the Internet.
You also have to accept that a VPN is going to generally slow things down a little. You use it because you don't want your ISP building an advertising profile of you from your browsing history and selling it to anyone willing to pay the asking price or things of that nature. That all said, Windscribe has been working to both increase their server footprint and upgrade some of the nodes to 10Gbps connections.
I've been using Windscribe since I snagged one of their lifetime deals several years ago. They don't even offer them anymore. For the most part, I am pretty happy with the performance of Windscribe. The past few days it's been kind of slow, but it's a blip over the span of several years. Probably just a lot of new customers and existing customers who got new computers, game consoles or something and they're temporarily saturating the network. They've also had issues with people reselling access to their accounts and, in at least one case, using like 7.5PB of data in a single month. They're starting to crack down on that, but it could also very well explain why you've been having poor access speeds.
If you take everything together, Windscribe probably ranks as one of the best VPN providers out there.

Techlore's comparison guide on VPNs really highlights the strengths of Windscribe (and the weakness of other providers).

Had to resort to placing them in my Spam folder. Thankfully, I didn't give them my cellphone number. While rather speedy, it's not what I thought.

Yikes⌠that's a huge nah for me, dawg. If you value privacy in any facet, this is not the VPN for you.
⢠it doesn't
No, privacy-conscious, technologically savvy individuals don't use this VPN. lmao
