Default Anyone know of a good VPN ?

Its mainly for streaming, i did a bit of research on the net but the opinions were a mixed bag. BolehVPN came up a few times if anyone knows of them, i'm really open to suggestions.

What exactly do you want to do? Is it something like faking Netflix to say you are in the US rather than the uk? If so them look at unblock-us / netprotect (their beta of their next service so you might not be able to get that)

I use it and it is rather good.

Just use Tor or another anonymous proxy, refresh your IP whenever you want to whereever you want, no more ISP blocks or IP bans

I use 1channel through XBMC, i'm with BT and both BT and Virgin have blocked a lot of the streaming sites in the UK so 1channel no longer works.

Basically something that is safe, reliable and doesn't have me down as being in the UK.

I use a free one called hotspot shield but that's just for getting ISP banned sites, I then turn it off again after

I use VyprVPN which I get free with my Giganews subscription. You can configure multiple VPN servers accross the world (approx 50 countries) which are easily changeable with the app. It also supports multiple protocols for varying degrees of encryption.
I have the app on my PCs and my Android phone.

TunnelBear is another good one. neil gaiman mentioned to US people they could use it to watch his Doctor Who episode on iPlayer if they were outside the UK. It used to be UK / US only, but I am fairly sure it does more countries now. I also happen to like the Bear graphics they use Rawr!
