How VPNs will improve browsing speed, the routed traffic will ultimately come through the local network only...just curious.
Forward and Reversed traffic are two different things.
The reverse path will be optimized compared to the allocated path. Our service providers allocate backup to coorporate customers not ordinary customers. For example.

Uc already does heavy cloud compression and is a proxy browser
VPN is very different thing brother. Better check above post to get idea about it.
