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.

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

Re: Looking for a new VPN
£59 a year is a little steep isnt it?

Re: Looking for a new VPN
It's cheaper if you buy 3 years at a time.

Re: Looking for a new VPN
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.

Re: Looking for a new VPN
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.

So much for your assertion about legitimate use.

Re: Looking for a new VPN
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

Re: Looking for a new VPN
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.
