You might be lucky with your choice of VPN... But mine gets blocked on Prime video, netflix and iplayer.
Who do you use, mine isn't due for renewal until next march, but I'd certainly be prepared to try an alternative service providing they don't keep logs and respect peoples privacy like my current one does... and doesn't cost much more than I pay now (about £3 a month, and I get really good speeds with no capping, throttling or anything).
