depending on what your doing.
www.gotrusted.com $6/month (keeps logs, but if you aren't doing anything illegal like hacking or carding then who cares, just browsing with them or cheating affiliates won't hurt)
^^^slow connecting and disconnecting but i noticed no lack of speed when using it for anything. they also have a trial period for free if u want to try them, id suggest using your paypal to pay though not CC
www.swissvpn.com $5/month (also logs, but once again if u arent using for really illegal shit who cares) 1 or 2 times its timed out for like 30 seconds, but usually great speeds an no problems, has a test server u can try to see what speeds and such are like with them
socks5 (what i use when i need proxy) are free if you have a good source, secure and don't log and depending where you get them are setup are compromised hosts. the ones i use the only speed decline i see is in downloads, from 500kb on my normal connection to like 250kb if downloading through socks, all other browsing is fast and flawless
if u use socks you can also chain them through program like FreeCap (
www.freecap.ru/eng/?p=download)
i wouldn't ever value the use of vip72 for the price they charge, buy they are supposed to be good
regular proxies you find on the net are shit, i have on that ive used for 5months but certain sites dont work well with it like myspace and such
my recommendations in order > socks5, swissvpn, gotrusted (based on my experiences)
