What's a good VPN service that is reliable in terms of connection quality? (reddthat.com)

I've been using iVPN for the past few months and the connection is total dogshit. I find myself turning it off every now and again to get things to load and that defeats the purpose of having a VPN.

Have you considered that the issue is on your end?

A few percent packet loss is hardly noticeable when you have 1 Gbps bandwidth, but once you bounce around to proxies all over the world, it becomes magnitudes worse.

Do some international network testing. Ignore speed. Pay attention to packet loss, jitter, and buffer bloat

If you have anything more than 1% packet loss, call your ISP tech to fix it. You may need to pay them for a business line to get priority on their network. Tell them you have a lot of IP phones.
