As the title says, I have been using Proton Unlimited for almost a year; I mainly use Proton Pass, VPN and mail. Mail and Pass are pretty good. However, proton VPN is hit and miss because of the constant loading, slow and unreliable servers.
As the saying goes: don’t put all eggs in the same basket
I want opinions from current and previous Proton Unlimited users.
Mullvad was throttling my iptv connection. Ironically, from the same data center, using Proton the streams weren’t throttled. So not sure if Proton is paying a premium for better bare metal and uplink or what the deal was with Mullvad. Hope you have a better experience.

I downgraded my sub to Mail Plus about a month ago. I had hopes for Drive and was using VPN too, but Drive wasn’t working well for me.
I self host Bitwarden, so never was interested in Pass. I also self host Nextcloud, so I don’t need Drive.
Switched over to Mullvad for VPN.
With downgrading, I had enough credits to cover my subscription of Mail Plus for 2 years.
Mullvad was throttling my iptv connection. Ironically, from the same data center, using Proton the streams weren’t throttled. So not sure if Proton is paying a premium for better bare metal and uplink or what the deal was with Mullvad. Hope you have a better experience.
