Review from ShieldsCW on Boleh VPN
I decided to try a VPN after my ISP banned me for 24 hours after over 100 DMCA notices that I ignored 🙂
This really is the best service out there. I am currently in the 1 day free trial, but I will be purchasing this service as soon as the trial expires.
PRICE: not the cheapest, but pretty good price compared to a lot of services. As of 2014 you can pay about US$7 per month if you pay for a whole year. The quality of the service is definitely worth that much, if not more.
RELIABILITY: Honestly, I had completely forgot that I was using a VPN! Connection has not dropped once on any server that I tried. I can even put my computers in sleep mode, then turn them back on, and BolehVPN is still connected like I never turned the computers off. When you can forget that you are using a VPN, you know it’s a good VPN.
SPEED: I notice no real change in speed compared to my normal internet. I’m sure it must be slower than my real connection, because that’s the reality of VPNs. But I do everything that I normally do on my computer (torrents included), and never once thought about the VPN, because my internet seems to run normally. SpeedTest website clocks me around 15Mbps down and 3Mbps up on all servers except Hong Kong, which was about 3Mbps/1Mbps when I tried it.
SUPPORT: Support is fantastic. It took a few hours to get the reply email about starting my free trial, but after that, it was very fast. I contacted support 5 times in total. Responses always came within 1 hour, except for one that took 5 hours (I’m sure they have to sleep sometimes!). Chris tried very hard to solve my problem in many ways, and even though he didn’t solve it, I was very satisfied that he did everything he could do, and that there is simply no way to solve the problem that I had (a minor problem anyway).
Overall, I am very impressed with this service. I had no idea that VPNs could be this fast and stable. I am happy to have found VPNReviews, and BolehVPN.
