Have to add how impressed I am with expressvpn. I leave mine logged on most of the time via LA and speeds are sometimes a little slower but on the whole, it's great. I don't use twitter but FB is easily accessible.

To watch tv programmes from the UK, we have to log in via London or Berkshire but after being slow initially, I can watch Corrie as if I'm in the UK watching on tv, but I think that's more of an iplayer issue, not sure, I'm not sufficiently educated in IP and bandwith issues to know.
