I'm sure there are many legit VPN provider out of there, which really care about the user and provide some hardware/bandwidth, but most are oversold services (barely scam) with very high price for what they offer.
I think the solution is a self-made VPN out of a VPS. VPS nowadays are really cheap, and you can get awesome deals with some very serious providers. Also, you can easily get one outside the USA, for (in my opinion at least) increased security.
For anyone interessed, https://github.com/Nyr/openvpn-install https://github.com/Nyr/openvpn-install makes installing OpenVPN a breeze. For VPS deals, http://www.lowendbox.com/ http://www.lowendbox.com/ and http://vpsboard.com/ http://vpsboard.com/.

- 47 13y agoRunning your own VPN server means no privacy, as you are only user of the system and all the traffic going in/out of the server is attributed to you. What VPN providers claims is that they do not store logs/ip addresses and they have no way of knowing what traffic comes from client.
