<\/span>Introduction<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Surfshark has recently announced<\/a> a significant infrastructure upgrade, adding VPN servers with 100 Gbps bandwidth capacity in Amsterdam. It\u2019s a huge leap from industry-standard 10 Gbps servers and a technical milestone that matters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No, your laptop won\u2019t suddenly gain faster internet on its own, but this level of server capacity improves the steadiness and consistency of your VPN speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Surfshark<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In short, this is a big step for VPN performance that potentially puts Surfshark at the top of the race for the fastest VPN in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>What 100 Gbps Servers Mean for VPN Users<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In technical terms, \u201c100 Gbps\u201d refers to a server interface that can carry 100 gigabits per second of traffic. Practically, it means less chance of server-side congestion during peak hours, fewer slowdowns or disconnections, and more consistent high speeds when many people stream, game, or download at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it\u2019s important to remember that 100 Gbps is about capacity, not guaranteed per-user throughput. In fact, you won\u2019t get 100 Gbps on a home connection<\/a>\u2014your internet plan and device limits get in the way. What you will<\/em> see is fewer \u201ctraffic jams\u201d and more stable transfers. To put it simply, if a server was a highway, Surfshark didn\u2019t raise the speed limit from 10 to 100 mph; it widened the road from 10 lanes to 100.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Does VPN Speed Really Matter?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Absolutely. Speed and stability affect everyday tasks: streaming, backups, downloads, and gaming. Does a VPN affect internet speed? Yes\u2014encryption and routing overhead add latency and CPU work. But modern VPNs are designed to minimize that loss, and server congestion or bandwidth caps often cause larger slowdowns than encryption alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So while a high-speed VPN server won\u2019t magically increase your internet speed, better VPN infrastructure helps you get closer to the maximum speeds promised by your ISP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>How Surfshark\u2019s Upgrade Compares to Competitors<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Surfshark\u2019s 100 Gbps servers put it ahead of the pack, potentially allowing it to take the lead in the competition for the fastest VPN service in 2025. For instance, the max advertised NordVPN speed (just like most other premium VPNs) is 10 Gbps per server interface. Don\u2019t get me wrong, this current industry standard is still fast but an order of magnitude smaller than 100 Gbps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So Surfshark\u2019s move to the fastest VPN servers makes the marketing edge of 10 Gbps claims less compelling and gives it a clear infrastructure advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Improving VPN Speed and Performance<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

100 Gbps servers are great, but they are (and most likely will be for some time) a rarity rather than routine, plus not everyone has a Surfshark subscription. Here\u2019s how to improve VPN performance and stability, no matter the provider and type of VPN<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
