MACUSER REVIEW: FASTESTVPNIn our tests, FastestVPN maintained
about 30 percent of the base speed
across five locations on multiple test
days. The only weak spot we found was
in some of the servers located in Asia
and Australia, but everywhere
else had excellent speeds
and performance. Your
experience may differ based
on location, ISP, and your own
equipment.
PRICING
FastestVPN offers several
pricing options. A single year
costs just $30, which is a
fantastic price. You can get
three years for just $40, or you
can pay month-to-
month for $10 per
month.
FastestVPN
requires an email
and password to
sign up, and
payments are
accepted via credit
card or Paypal. There
are no options for
cryptocurrency
or cash.BOTTOM LINE
FastestVPN is easy
to use, backed up by an attractive and
uncomplicated app. The service also
supports good speeds, and its network is
large enough to cover the major regions of
the world. Finally, the privacy policy makes
the right promises and is
written in a format that’s easy
to understand. We’d like to see
options for cryptocurrency and
cash payments; however, those
are definitely power user
features, and FastestVPN isn’t
really a service built for that
audience, at least on the Mac.
Anyone who needs a
no-nonsense VPN on the Mac
at a good price should take a
look at FastestVPN. ■mmmm
