They cost $5.40/month, but the speed is night and day. Not only that, but hot spot shield no longer works! :)

anyways, they offer a free trial, so you can use it and see for yourself. Well worth it. My 2 cents!

I personally tried hotspot shield and it didn’t work – go with a low cost service and you won’t regret it.. the speed is WAY different. I use VPN Authority http://www.vpnauthority.com

i spend some time to find a decent vpn provider and finally i settled on http://www.whatsonthebox.net to watch US and UK TV.

Here’s a good updated list of all the current US & UK streaming TV media sites:

I got VERY VERY tired of free VPN services not working (FUCK Hotspot Shield!). I finally caved in and set up a VPNTelevision account last week.

http://www.vpntelevision.com

The basic package costs $55/year and allows you to choose between IP addresses in San Francisco, New York, and London. I generally test at about 28Mbps to the VPN server, which is not bad at all. Setup on my iPhones and iPod touch was very simple, as was setup on my Mac. Once you set up your VPN account details on the iPhone, a VPN toggle appears in the Settings app, between the Wi-Fi and Carrier settings, allowing for quick enabling of the VPN service whenever you need it. So I now have access to Pandora on the iPhone (which is, in a word, AWESOME), Hulu at home (again, VERY cool) and also Google Voice. With my jailbroken iPhone running GV Mobile + and Skype, I’m now able to make outgoing calls to anywhere in the U.S. free of charge, no matter where I am.

So if anyone is on the fence about going the VPN route, after trying it out myself I can definitely say it’s well worth the cost. Hulu and Pandora alone are worth more than $55/year to me (that’s about how much a single month of cable costs!!) and the added bonus of being able to set up a Google Voice account is just icing on the cake. If anyone has any questions about how to set everything up, feel free to ask and I’ll do my best to answer!

Hope this helps!

Aberstan
