Is I-ON throttling VPN and Bittorrent traffic?

I've been noticing for the past few days that my ProtonVPN speeds have been really bad, around 1 Mbps max DL. I've tested this across 2 Windows machines and 1 Android phone on my home network, and tested with all available free servers on ProtonVPN. I've also tested out ProtonVPN speeds on an Idea connection, I get 20 Mbps+ speeds on it. So it seems that there is something wrong with my I-ON connection, not any of my devices or ProtonVPN itself. Also, upload speeds have been 20 Mbps+ on all networks and devices, including I-ON.

I've also tested to see if Bittorrent traffic is being throttled as well, I haven't tested exhaustively but I got barely 20 Mbps on an Ubuntu ISO that should've been downloaded at 50 Mbps minimum. My plan's connection speed is 70 Mbps so no bottleneck there. I'm going to investigate this in further detail, I have a Raspberry Pi setup that could cause some issues but that is extremely unlikely, all it's running is a Samba share and a Pihole.

Has anyone else been facing similar issues with your VPN connection/torrents?

Edit: I just checked, and it's not I-ON throttling VPN traffic, it's just that ping and DL speeds to all international servers are completely horrible. That explains the awful VPN speeds. Even my net speed is a third of what I pay for. Something is seriously wrong with I-ON, especially since the past few weeks.

hi there is no speed issue, have not used VPN but torrent i get speed as per plan

@vikram_ch never test on local servers. He has specifically mentioned that international speeds are poor. I myself see 100-100 on my local servers but other non Indian servers perform badly on my connection.

on international servers there is 20% download speed reduction and upload speed 95% reduction although while downloading Ubuntu i got close to 100% allocation
result on international servers with 150Mbps connection
