Superb
I am using Hideme since last 2.5 years. In my view its one of the best VPN service provider. Their service and customer support both are very fast. Never faced any kind of serious issue and if it happened, it was resolved within 24 hours. Rates are also very economical in return of the value.

Dangerous Garbage With NO Install. Possible SpyWare and MalWare!!
Don't support this garbage. It is spyware and extortionware. There is NO working uninstall. I tried everything to get rid of it. Apparently at least some of the dll files are from Russia. They shouldn't even be allowed on the market. I sent a request to assist in getting rid of this VPN to no avail. They ignored me. I told them I'd let everyone know what they did to blow up my computer and I will. DO NOT DOWNLOAD!

It works great all the time for me!
No problems at all using netflix through the VPN! I have had the error message appear in previous VNPs such as Disconnect, but no problems at all with Tunnelbear, not in the paid version or even in the free version, and this is without even using their Ghostbear feature that is supposed to solve these kind of problems (or if you are in China for example).

Very Slow
Internet speeds have dropped drastically in the last months. I get 75-90mbps without a VPN, and 3-25mbps with Tunnel Bear on. Pathetic!
Also have more drops in service and reconnects.
I've done all of their suggested fixes, nothing.
I think TB may throttle speeds.
I have done tests on all of their worldwide servers but ALL are extremely slow. I think it was much faster than this last year. I won't be continuing my subscription after it expires.
