What are folks using these VPN services for these days? To access content outside of the UK which is restricted by certain IP Addresses?
Cause you don't necessarily need a VPN to attain a wealth of global content. Simply use a Smart DNS service the likes that OverPlay provide. Have been using it for years and is a great tool. Using SmartDNS also means you're utilizing the maximum bandwidth of your ISP instead of tunnelling through a third party connection!
Obviously if you prefer your data traffic encrypted, then by all means go down the VPN route.

I subscribe to Eweka (usenet) and get IPVanish thrown in for free, all for about $8 a month I think. IPVanish works well.

ExpressVPN for me, works a treat for Sky Go and Get iPlayer Automator for Corrie downloads!
300mb internet helps too, go Denmark, might go for the 1gb upgrade. Synchronous too....

I use AirVPN. Seem to be pretty well reviewed, servers all over the place and no throttling of torrent traffic for my numerous, ahem, linux distro downloads.

Their web chat completely turned me off. The person I was chatting to couldn't explain the difference between a $7 and a $4 plan more than the (two word) marketing term on the website. Just got snooty when I pointed out that a technical person might like to know a bit more.
