Cyber Ghost Premium Plus VPN

I finally got my refund too...Didn't have to escalate it to a claim, just opened a dispute and it took 3 days or so for them to respond.

Same here I just got a refund

This thread should be renamed "VPN unlimited is shîte - and I got a PP refund". Seriously, anybody coming on here could be forgiven for thinking that the OP was a bum steer!

Back on topic would be good.

With all respect the 2 issues are related. The reason that the OP put this forward was in direct responce to the problems that boards members were having with the previous vpn BA.

I think that allowing the original aspect to be discussed may only protect our members. I would also like to add that the VPN unlimited offer remains active and due to the fact that the BA thread re this is now closed this output is valuable.

You may also argue that this discussion could take place elsewhere, but in my opinion this still relates to the BA set down by the OP.

I am open to correction but this is only my tuppence worth.

I would tend to agree.....anybody who clicks on and reads the last page or so is going to think this Cyberghost offer is after tanking with problems. I understand that the two are related but all the waffle has side-tracked the real offer.

Question on CyberGhost - If I take the option that provides VPN for 1 device, can that one device by my router and therefore my entire network at home - PCs, Laptops, Phones, Consoles?

Dcully · 27-08-2014 04:26PM

I bought cyberghost and can confirm is 10x better than vpn unlimited.

frostypants · 27-08-2014 05:57PM

Am using CyberGhostVPN myself. Is there any reason why boards.ie is blocked when I use it? Every other site is fine. Am using the German server

Edit: It's working again

frostypants · 27-08-2014 06:01PM

Another quick question about this VPN. How come running a speed test isn't accurate?

I'm getting over 20mb down even though my max speed is 11mb. Obviously I didn't magically get double the speed

but does the VPN connection affect the test in some way?

The Erfurt servers don't like boards.ie for some reason, Hamburg and Frankfurt work just fine though.

I'm getting 9 Mbps download speed with VPN Unlimited using the Hampshire connection. So I think it is fine for browsing.

What is the particular issue people are having with it? Ok, I know it's not going to allow a fast download, but why all the anger for something that cost €5 a year for the next 3 years to access even geoblocked sites? Is it not worth it at this price even for that?

Cyberghost is 3 times as expensive so if you are not downloading, but simply surfing and require a change of location, I think the vpn unlimited was a good deal (but I appear to be the only one!)

coldfire1x · 27-08-2014 10:39PM

You are right, it's fine for casual browsing and if you dont need the high speeds. It's a good deal then and very reasonable.

My requirements / usage are different, so not really suited.

Got my refund though and now have a Cyberghost premium plus account

What kind of speeds are people getting from cyber ghosts premium Irish servers? I found the free version to be rather slow.

Free version is very limited in terms of speeds.
With premium plus im getting close to 60mb while connected to UK servers,without cyberghost im getting a solid 69mb.
I would highly recommend it.

I havent tried Irish servers as UK ones have been fine for me.

Strangely I get better speeds with it on? Around 18 when it's on and 17 when it's off.
I've done it a few times and got the same results.

If you are on eircom you aren't alone. I'm using Tunnelbear right now for just that reason.

RossieMan · 30-10-2014 05:43PM

as above, with eircom and sometimes its quicker using the VPN.

Seems very strange.

cruhoortwunk · 30-10-2014 06:34PM

I notice the UK server I use is very slow recently. iplayer is unusable. It has been fine for over a year. I reckon they have taken on a lot of new users recently, and it's a knock on effect. I use uk.l2tp.cyberghostvpn.com
Can someone with a premium account let me know which UK server name they use?

You can see the server load on their server list and selwct the one you want e.g. london-s01-i01 etc.
