I'm in Shanghai as an exchange student and I get very different connection quality depending on whether I'm using the WLAN on campus (fast, some Google-owned services work even without VPN), using my mobile connection specifically catering to foreigners (4G, no noticeable slowdown with VPN) or the "citizen grade" connection at the flat I'm renting. I have observed speeds of 10 MiB/s connecting to servers on campus, but VPN is usually capped at 10 KiB/s.
Ironically, I was downloading a YouTube video overnight (using a VPN, of course) and after midnight the speed skyrocketed to breathtaking 200 KiB/s! No idea whether that has anything to do with this announcement.
