Hi can anyone recommend (pvt msg) a good VPN?

I'm currently with one now, but only get around 2mb IF my elife Etisalat connection is running at 8mb (on speedtest.net). As we speak i'm barely getting 3mb, which is the slowest its ever been for me. Does high usage/evening affect fibre optics?

Would upgrading to 16mb in theory get me faster VPN spds?

Also does etisalat 'throttle' video streaming? Watching my slingbox here at times is impossible yet back home the the upstream is a constant 1.5mb. The relatively slow VPN also makes watching bbc iplayer virtually impossible too.

Does DU throttle? I hope that third provider starting next year might improve things inshallah but i doubt it

Thanks for any tips
