I haven't used their service, but I can explain why. I'm here, they're there.
Bandwidth to/from severs here is cheap and plentiful. I can max out my
internet connection 24/7 to servers within the country.

Bandwidth outside the country is expensive and hard to get. Lots of it at
8am, when no one is doing anything. Come back at 3pm when kids get home from
school and it starts to slow down. By 8 at night, it's at a crawl.

So if I need to use a VPN or proxy server to make a foreign site think I am
a local user, then it's worth the bandwith and the slow performance to get
something I could not get before.

If I need to get something locally, it makes no sense to send the data up
the pipe to the VPN/proxy server in another country and then have it go
back to the local server and vice versa.

Geoff.
