There are plenty of other companies who also offer VPN services.

If you’ve got time and want to search around then you should look for a VPN provider that has an “Indian Server”, not many do and it’s critical the service you sign up with has an Indian server like VyprVPN mentioned above.

It’s also important that the VPN service is fast enough to stream video.
