Looking for a new VPN
 
Well i've been with Private Internet Access since late September 2015 and its now time to move on so i've cancelled my yearly renewal with them.

I don't think they are offering value for money anymore as i've seen a dramatic decrease in speed + more and more random disconnects from their service.

I'm just wondering what VPN does others on here use and would you recommend?

Thanks.

I've been using VPN Area for a while now. I highly rate it. £59 per year ATM. Up to 6 devices.

£59 a year is a little steep isnt it?

It's cheaper if you buy 3 years at a time.

Paul, there's no need to go on the offensive and act like you are.

Some people u know use VPN's for legitimate reasons.

There is no need for you to be an ass either, it was a perfectly valid question.

The main reasons i use a VPN are these....

I go for treatment regular in hospital and while using their internet i like to secure my traffic.

And i like to unblock youtube videos and netflix videos that are not available for viewing in the UK.

Progers PIA served me well since 2015 but for weeks ive been having issues with servers being slow and all sorts of random disconnections.

I have reported it numerous times and nothing seems to have been done.

On the UK servers i used to get around 80mb on a speed test which is a large drop from 350MB but i put up with it, the other night before signing upto ExpressVPN i couldnt get over 12mb on the London server.

Im getting double the speeds on ExpressVPN i was getting on PIA.

I’m getting between 50 and 60Mb on a Virgin 100Mb connection to the U.K. servers; today it connected me to The Netherlands, that was 66Mb

VPNBOOK https://www.vpnbook.com/ ???

I've never used one, but may do to get around post-brexit online TV watching.

Taf, the only issue with VPN book i can remember from the past is they sometimes randomly change the user and password and u then u need to relook them up again.
