Breach of trust and contractual agreement
I purchased a lifetime license from FastestVPN in 2018, believing in the promise of "lifetime" access to the features available at that time. Fast forward to 2023, and I find that they have unilaterally restricted access to essential features like the WireGuard protocol, specific streaming servers, P2P, and D-VPN. Their justification? Changes were made post-2022, and now, their earliest and most loyal customers are being penalized. We're being asked to pay additional fees for a "Pro Version" to regain access to features we originally paid for. This not only feels like a breach of trust but also a breach of our original contractual agreement. While they might see their offer of a Pro Lifetime for an additional $20 or a Monthly Pro for $2 as a concession, I view it as an unwarranted financial imposition. The introduction of a two-tier system further diminishes the value of the original lifetime license. I am profoundly disappointed with FastestVPN. They have not only compromised the trust of their long-standing customers but have also shown a lack of integrity in upholding their end of the agreement. I urge potential customers to think twice before committing to their services. ADDENDUM AFTER READING THEIR REPLY: Your response is not only disheartening but also a blatant disregard for the concerns of your long-standing customers. Let me reiterate my points, as it seems they were not fully grasped in my initial review. Definition of "Lifetime": When I, along with many others, purchased a lifetime license in 2018, it was with the clear understanding that we would have "lifetime" access to the features available at that time. The term "lifetime" does not come with an asterisk that allows you to redefine its meaning at your convenience. Restriction of Features: You claim you haven't restricted any "old features and country servers." However, the WireGuard protocol, certain streaming servers, P2P, and D-VPN were all part of the package when I made my purchase. By restricting access to these features now, you are effectively altering our original agreement. Penalizing Loyal Customers: Your decision to impose additional costs on those who purchased subscriptions before July 2022 is not only discriminatory but also a slap in the face to your most loyal customers. We supported your business when we chose the lifetime license, and now we're being asked to pay more for features we were initially promised. Financial Imposition: The introduction of a "Pro Version" with additional costs, whether it's $20 for a lifetime or $2 monthly, is an unexpected and unwarranted financial burden. We did not sign up for this when we committed to your service in 2018. Your dismissive response only solidifies my disappointment and the feeling of betrayal. I urge you to reconsider your stance and truly value the trust and loyalty of your customers. Actions speak louder than words, and right now, your actions are speaking volumes about how little you value those who have supported you from the beginning.
Response from FastestVPNOct 11, 2023
Hello, We haven’t restricted any old features and country severs. The only features that were restricted are WireGuard protocol, few streaming servers, P2P and D-VPN. These updates were made in 2023 and we are providing these features for $40 Lifetime users. Only the old users whi bought subscription before July 2022 will require to get Pro Version, the Pro Lifetime is only for $20 USD and Monthly Pro is for $2 USD. With the Pro version you will also get 40+ Pro servers in the app. UPDATE: We are sorry to hear that you are dishearten with from us. We would like to inform that you still have the access to servers, protocols ans service for you paid in 2018 and we have not restricted any old feature. We added new features in 2023 such as Wireguard, DVPN, P2P and few Streaming servers that cost us heavily. And we are not asking to pay Higher price from our old and loyal customer. The new lifetime subscription price is $40 USD, but to provide these features through a Pro subscription to our old and loyal customers, still leaving it affordable.
