@davidamills - Thank you for posting this, after searching online I found that my ISP here in the UK (TalkTalk) also throttles bandwidth. I had noticed when downloading MSFS updates that my Xbox was downloading 10-15mbps faster than my PC, on the SAME connection! After a lot of searching I finally found Proton VPN which has a genuinely free version with no limitations. It may just be beginners luck but everything you said about the performance improvements is true - I couldn’t believe it until I tried it myself so thank you again.
