I'm a bit confused right now since what happened recently makes no sense to me. Basically, I have have been purchasing 60mbps internet for awhile now, but it never seemed to exceed 30mbps. Recently, I installed a VPN, and it made my internet really slow, even after I turned it off, it made my internet go at about 10mbps for a few days, and yes, I tried unplugging and plugging in my router, that didn't help. Anyways, I turned the VPN back on yesterday, and while it was on, my internet was running slow as ever, but when I turned it off, my internet speed skyrocketed, it's now running at 65mbps, and I'm now able to watch youtube videos at 1080p without any buffer. Any idea how this happened?

I didn't reboot the router at the time, but I had rebooted the router several times before this happened to no avail.
