Hi BananaStem,
The fast start means that you get a priority in the queue to get a server.
So the speed depends on the affluence if there is a lot of session asked in the same time in your region, you can wait several minutes more if your are in Free Beta. Until all premium account (Basic and Pro) asking in the same time as you have been served.
Feel free to experiment one month. And if it doesn’t meet your expectations, just stop your subscription 😉
Best,
