It is not the cheapest VPN option, they compete on raw speed and variety of locations for exit points. But I have found their service to be consistently fast and very good for streaming media.

Seems like they are always adding new servers and improving the client programs.
There are preconfigured automatic setup clients for Windows, Mac, and Android.
They have supported manual setup configurations using the built in VPN functions for All of these operating systems if you do not want to install a client plus iphone, ipad, ubuntu, and DD-WRT routers.
They support PPTP, L2TP, and OpenVPN protocols so if you prefer to set it up yourself or you have a router with VPN firmware you can route your entire network via their servers for devices like playstation, apple tv, etc
A router compatible with Tomato firmware or DD-WRT with OpenVPN support included will allow you to route your entire network.
Why would you use a VPN?
Top 3 reasons
Privacy, moving your data to a shared server where it's more difficult to identify the individual user
hide unencrypted data from an untrusted network like internet cafes and hotels. Protects your login on unencrypted websites, and servers. (pop on port 110, or imap on port 143 is usually unencrypted and everyone on the LAN can potentially steal your password)
Some use it to get around geolocation restrictions on services like Hulu, Netflix, or BBC iplayer.
A note for the paranoid, this service is head quartered in the USA.
