Any recommendations?

pipeman01 I have recently tried a couple and settled on one of them. First one was IPVANISH which has a good selection of servers to choose from and good multi platform support for apps etc. Bit pricey though and not much support for raspberry pi which was my main need Next one and the one I settled on is Private Internet Access or PIA for short. Reasonable price for full sign up and good selection of servers. Multi platform support and a good Pi guide available with support for OpenVPN if needed Both offer 7 day money back if you find that either one does not offer what you need. PIA has a couple of UK servers to pick from

I use cyberghost on my laptop and android boxes............. I've never had any problems, so would highly recommend giving it a try.

ouch, thats a bit kak isnt it.
and agree, a few years back they promised the whole country even rural areas will have super fast.
wembley stadium is only about 800yards away as the crow flies and that whole area has 100mbps but as we are on the other side of a railway line the max we can get is 57 for the same price.
