Virtual Private Networks

Hi, I've noticed that when I have my VPN enabled on my laptop, my Internet connection drops very frequently (about once every 10, 15 minutes). I need to reconnect often to get it to work. I know the issue isn't with my internet itself because when the VPN is not connected, it works flawlessly. Does anyone know what might be the issue here, or what I need to look into?

Further information: I use Shaw/Rogers Internet in British Columbia, Canada. I have tried two different VPN providers and had the same problem with both. The VPN works fine when on my cell phone using the same WiFi connection.

Thanks in advance!
