It never needs to rebuffer as the link is very quick. They provide UK VPNs and US VPNs that work with all the video streams (iPlayer, C4 On Demand, ITV Catch Up, Hulu, ABC, Fox, etc.) Also works for Youtube, Pandora, etc. For under 5GBP per month, UKiVPN.com did the trick for me.

Since now the free hotshield doesn't work any longer.. Just buy a simple vpn account, there are tons of providers. The one I decided to go with was www.hidemynet.com. They have one of the lowest fees at only 5$. So far so good, no hicups or problems with video play back. It's HIGHLY recommended you pay for a VPN instead of trying to cheap out with limited free services!

Apparently, "hiding" doesn’t fit into “shaping” and instead of ending up with expected prices monthly, (with a minimum of hassle if ever in a “shaping” period) whatever I download while “stealthing” through the geocentric barriers makes my price either skyrocket or I’m cut off. I live half the year in USA, half in Australia. I feel so cut off from entertainment and breaking news when in Aus. But thanks to this geocentric workaround I'll have access to the plethora of media that keeps me from getting anything else done in my life. ;-) As far as download restrictions from Aus servers, my own workaround is to watch or listen only when I’m absolutely plugged into it, If I forget to pause Pandora or Hulu while I answer the phone or take a kip, I end up with no server. Aus may be better off not to have such luxurious access to great shows. Couch potato = big big health issues, which is okay if health costs aren't govt subsidized.
