Pros, unlock any blocked website, hide your IP, unlock content not available in your country by changing location.
Cons, possible slower speeds.
I use Hotspot Shield Elite, costs £2.99 a month and provides upto 5 devices to be protected on one account. Currently use this on my Mac and iPhone with no problems. It offers you to connect to the following countries UK, USA, Japan, Australia, Canada and Germany. So far I've found it great for the UK and USA sites. I am on 152mbps broadband with VM but you won't get that behind a VPN as previous comments state from others, you get around 60mbps thats fine for me at least other devices on the network won't slow down. No download data limits. Its available on Windows, Mac, Android and iOS. They offer a free trial for elite too.

Thanks for the reply. I was wondering if a VPN can help is accessing the US content for NetFlix and Amazon Prime? We have both accounts and it seems that there is more/newer content in the US
I use the Chrome
Hola extension to access NetFlix from a PC. This can be (sometimes) (chrome) cast to the TV if the wind is in the right direction.
What do people think of Hola and is a VPN better? I am thinking here of setting VPN up on my Asus N66U router and use selective routing for nominated services - something like
this. Looks very complicated and possible fragile
so I guess if a VPN provider is the best out-of-country content provider then it would need installing and activating
