VM's network cannot handle the traffic they've probably seen this as a bit of relief and couldn't wait to employ it
As for people asking about VPN's These are ones I've used and have had very little problem with.
StrongVPN, US company, keeps logs but is an excellent service I used them for a few months and had no problem watching Hulu and NetFlix. The US NetFlix service is head and shoulders above the UK version, shame my credit card details wouldn't work after the free month.
Anonine, Swedish company I've got a three month OpenVPN subscription with these at the moment. I also tried the PPTP subscription for my iPad, unfortunately I messed up when ordering the PPTP service and basically they haven't answered my emails! According to the website they don't keep logs.
VPNTunnel.se again a Swedish company and I have had an a OpenVPN account with them for about 6 months. They also don't answer emails! and according to the website they don't keep logs.
You could also order a VPS from any of the UK suppliers and install a proxy and or OpenVPN, I'm not that familiar with Linux and managed to do it in and hour or so, there's plenty of help on the web. This may only be a short term solution as I don't know if UK VPS service providers will have to start blocking sites like the ISP's.
I have also tried a few free providers my advice on those would be not to bother.
I would also suggest using FireFox as your main browser with HTTPS Everywhere and Ghostery installed.
