I would second Private Internet Access. They have a shitty billing system (need to cancel your current account if you want to switch to a yearly plan), but it I've found it Just Works(TM). Really happy with their service.

VyprVPN is my weapon of choice. Only bad side I can see after months of use is lack of coverage inside the China firewall.

Do you have the Chameleon protocol activated?

I've recently had issues with PIA where traffic just stopped routing, necessitating a reconnect. Also the Mac client connects probably 50% of the time and often gets in to an unrecoverable state - but that might be OS X/Openvpn's fault, not PIA.
