Best bang or the buck VPN

Hey guys, I am thinking of purchasing a VPN service due to Verizon completely throttling my YouTube Bandwidth. I am paying for a 50/25 connection speed and on my speed test.net results are usually 56/30 but my youtube videos buffer at 720p which is absurd. After watching the teksyndicate vid on how a VPN could be a solution I looked at 2 VPN sevices, HotSpot shield and private internet access. I was thinking of buying hotspot shield for a year because it is $10 cheaper and im a bit tight on money right now so I wanted to get someone elses opinion. How is HotSpot shield and is their a cheaper alternative. I would prefer any VPN to have unlimited bandwidth and have a monthly/yearly fee as if they went by how much data i use, i would end up paying a lot. Thanks.

The one on Tek Syndicate's new video has a 1 year plan for $40.

yes but HotSpot shield is $30 a year. Is that as cheap as it gets?

Probably. That's a pretty good deal if you think about it. I mean, I spend $30 on junk food a week.

Private Internet access is very well known and very good for security. Also hotspot shield is pretty good
