T-Mobile Home Internet is oddly faster with a VPN.
It's over a cellular network, which often has a slower download and faster upload. This implies the bottleneck is in the band (congested tower / network).
Generally speaking, switching to a VPN should make it worse, not better
Yet, the numbers don't lie. I will have great download speeds and normal upload, when using a VPN.
Changing the DNS with or without VPN, doesn't matter, it's always faster with the VPN.
BTW you should let the your telco regulators know that #Tmobile violates #RFC standards by literally using #CGNAT on #RFC1918 adress space, which is explicitly not allowed as per #RFC6598.
@Linux_Is_Best again: you should traceroute the VPN endpoint to compare, not the same host while connected to the VPN, because you're omitting all the trace between you and the VPN server itself
anyways to reach mstdn.social, your ISP goes through Level3 as transit, as soon as you get a traceroute for the endpoint you can compare the two
