If I can reach the destination with faster speeds when they "hide" my destinaton from Verizon, it is obviously a foul play from Verizon.
I think you mentioned Unlocator somewhere? Unloacter is not VPN, it is a DNS based.
Some users have Unlocator confused with a VPN service, which we are not. We are a DNS service and you don’t get a new IP address when using Unlocator (like you would with VPN)
Your traffic remains unchanged. Encrypted traffic remains encrypted and unencrypted remain unencrypted

Unless I've missed something, its just a DNS gizmo. Instead of the default directing Netflix traffic to Miami or whatever, it somewhat fakes you're location so that you are directed to a server in Atlanta or a server in Dallas. Etc. Verizon could still potentially detect that you are connecting to a Netflix server.
