Well, I was coming home with some pals (two in the wagon's way back) from an era - appropriate midnight showing
of «Steppenwolf and Siddhartha» at the old Waverly Theatre in the West Village, if you must know, and was experimenting with Park Avenue as a route for late - night uptown
travel, on account
of all
kinds of surprise
traffic on other more direct routes back to the George Washington Bridge and northern New Jersey.
If your ISP likes to throttle your connection based on content (tanking your file downloads and / or streaming video speeds in the process) a VPN completely eliminates that problem as all your
traffic is
traveling to a single point through the encrypted tunnel and your ISP remains ignorant
of what
kind of traffic it is.
