Re: UK VPN
When they had UK servers, it was pretty good for SD iplayer stuff and just had to buffer HD stuff for a minute or so, but I only used it to catch the snooker and really just to use Spotify.
Way to much hassle going through proxy IP numbers and more often than not they aren't working so I've not been able to get it...probably cheaper to get a VPN than pay for Spotify, but they were supposed to roll it out to the US early in the year, but not any more, Q3 or Q4 now...bugger.

Re: UK VPN
Thing is, loads of US servers....and originally a couple of UK ones, worked quite well, but not any more. They had a separate paid version, but now it's all rolled into one app.

Re: UK VPN
I use witopia - It's an American company that allows you to switch between a US and a UK VPN.
Works fine in the middle east and the only issues I have had is with the local ISP

Re: UK VPN
I have used these guys www.************* for the last couple of years. Never really had any problems, it did buffer sometimes but then i sent the support an email and they sorted, good service, and theyre based in the UK.

Re: UK VPN
I just moved to Strongvpn from UKTV access. I was getting too much buffering from UKTV access. Strongvpn seems a lot better so far. $55 for a whole year is a pretty good deal too.
