My issue w/ StrongVPN and their OPEN connection is my speed would drop from 30mb to 5mb (using DDWRT router).
The slow down isn't usually the result of your VPN provider. The cause is usually that your router doesn't have the processing power to quickly handle the encryption functions. My speeds from STX to Miami are great using StrongVPN (ReliableHosting). I do have a powerful router with a attached processor to handle all the VPN encryption. My speed reduction is less than 2% when I compare using the VPN between St Croix and Miami or run a speed test not using the VPN on the same route.
I have no problems streaming Amazon or the BBC from London.

NO VPN - ST CROIX - MIAMI

Was using a Linksys E3000 which had plenty of ran and processing power.
I recall when I used OPEN directly from the laptop, the speed results were simillar from the router (rarely peaked 7mb).
