Not really, no.

When you understand how to ask the question, you will already have your answer.

Basically, your ISP, VPN, or your own networking equipment is going to be your chokepoint. The only person who can actually determine which one of those three is the slowest is... You. Nobody else has that information.

Until you can understand the distinction between "upload" and "download", you cannot understand the information your ISP, VPN, and the manufacturers of your networking equipment are providing to you.

(On a tangentially related note: If you don't have a VPN, go ahead and uninstall your torrent client until you've spent a lot more time studying networking concepts.)
