SurfShark is not better than NordVPN

With NordVPN, I am limited to 5-6 simultaneous connections.

So I used SurfShark's free trial to see if they really had unlimited connections.

They do not. I am still limited to 5-6 connections.

I see the "5 connections" in qBittorrent. I am able to get 100 connections when using my mom's wireless Rogers modem, but not through either NordVPN or SurfShark. I made sure I was using SurfShark for my test.
