I do not know where you got this information...
Maybe you are right... But it does no support the facts...
The first screenshoot (on the left) from iPhone 12 pro, no WiFi, tel network, no VPN: 38 mbps
The second (on the right), no WiFi, tel network, ExpressVPN smart location Singapore: 3,3 mbps

Under specific circumstances VPN's can increase speeds for certain services. ISP's sometimes throttle, or artificially slow down specific types of of traffic; for example, several major ISP's have thr

You mentioned using your IPhone hotspot but I'm not clear if your using the Hotspot each time you are losing thru put? And not using it when on someones wifi direct. If so that can be part of your iss

I think that this is attributable to your phone not being able to process (filter/forward) packets at rates that even a budget router could handle. I mean it was not designed as a bridge or router, ra

The faster speed that you received via your Apple PC was from the free full speed 10GB that you receive. Then it defaults to your unlimited 4Mbps package. 

No the 10 GB is extra... we do not know why they give 10GB extra as the volume is... unlimited

The 10 GB is up to 300Mbps(theoretical). 
Change the speed test to Test My and post both results.

So obviously Speedtest.net is giving you inaccurate results.

I do not think so...
Speed test uses a server in Singapore... whatever I use VPN or not.

If someone can explain...
Very strangely, to come back on my initial question about "ISP throttling when detecting VPN?", I have found yesterday morning that using VPN on Hotspot, I could get more than the limited 3,5 mbps I use to have for the past 18 months (I arrived in ???????? at the end of 2021)...!!!!!????????
I do not know what has changed since yesterday...

Then, yesterday was Thursday. On Wednesday evening, around midnight, nothing was working properly. Internet on my Phone was ON and OFF repeatedly. When ON, the speed was sh... Even the wifi, in the business rooms where I lived, was ON and OFF.
Suddenly, in the morning, everything was back to normal, and more I could get internet from hotspot with VPN at good speed (around 70 mbps).

Again, if someone can explain...

It wasn't me.
