ISP throttling VPN? (sopuli.xyz)

My ISP seems to be throttling my VPN connection. Just started a week or so ago. Anyone have any tips for correcting this shit?

Edit: Sorry, I didn't leave much info. I guess I was thinking in more general terms. I use PIA, have for years. I've tried to change protocols and ports, my VPN speed still sits around 10K. Just ridiculous. Speed test without VPN:

SOLVED!! OK, I'm an absolute idiot. The tl;dr I had accidentally toggled the Toggle Alt. Rate Limits setting. Thank you everyone for attempting to help that which couldn't be helped!

I'd suspect your VPN is slow before suspecting ISP throttling.

you --> ISP --> target
you --> ISP --> VPN --> target

You're introducing VPN, with different network routing, and a routing middle-man, and suspect ISP before VPN?

No VPN = faster

VPN = slower

Do you have more info you can share or expand on problems you are experiencing?

VPNs are known for slowing down your internet.
