Just a heads up for anyone that is looking for P2P sharing, CyberGhost doesn't allow it. :/ If you're not into that stuff, then it's one of the best. But if you are, I would suggest IPVanish or PIA as an alternative. I use VPNs to bypass my ISPs bandwidth limit. :P

no problem with PureVPN, even has a setting for it.

Correction, the FREE servers don't allow p2p, an it's the same for pretty much any VPN. The PAID version of cyberghost allows p2p. I use it and another one.

Both IPvanish & PIA are located in the US, which is hardly the best location if you care about privacy. Even if they do little or no logging officially, the government can force them to keep logs of a given user at any moment by law. With the quantity of quality alternatives, i avoid US based VPNs like hell and go for countries where the customer is more protected if not by better laws, then at the very least by the lack of jurisdiction of US laws in those countries. In the case of Cyberghost, it is located in Romania.

How do you bypass a bandwidth limit with a VPN ???
Comment has been collapsed.
Some ISPs like Time Warner or Comcast have bandwidth limits on the cheaper services (some ISPs on all services regardless of price) which means when you reach the cap (used to be ~10-20GB/month or so), they would either:
Charge you money per GB in excess
Throttle your connection to a snail's crawl until the next month when the cap resets
For that reason alone, many users of ISPs have started using VPNs because most reputable VPNs offer unlimited bandwidth. Also, Comcast and other ISPs have been known to sell your personal information out to third parties based on your traffic and such, so users also use VPNs to stay anonymous. To the ISP, all they see is a connection to some random server and from there your VPN generally gives you and hundreds or thousands of users a shared dynamic IP (sometimes a single IP per user).

Please no.
That just tells that one doesn't want to have governments and private companies spying on you.
You might need to get up to date on all the shit that's going on.

Privacy wise cyberghost is the 2nd best after airvpn imho. It is also noob friendly with just an on off button and a drop down list of servers.

The premium version of any VPN should be fast, and the default settings should select the fastest server based on real location and server load. You can just make a before/after test via http://www.speedtest.net/ Any loss of speed shouldn't be noticeable. Every proper VPN gives a free trial, even if it might be just a one day trial requiring to send an email, so it's easy to test any VPN speed. There is also a minimum guaranteed speed, usually 4 or 5 m/s, but i've never been so low in years.

Yes, for games however, an exit node closer to the game server can actually ( sometimes ) improve your ping in my experience.
Say you live in Germany with a VPN node in Singapore and play a game which servers are in Nederlands. Your ping would get considerably worse. But if you select a VPN node in the Netherlands, you might end up having a better ping than without VPN. There are divided opinions on the technicalities of this ( as in a VPN should always lower your ping ) but from my experience and that of some friends and from the conflicting "teh internet", it actually ( sometimes ) works.
